Excessive overtime write ups

My manager just showed me an email from HR stating that any retail employee that has excessive overtime is to be written up and documented. If it continues punishments can include termination. I've never seen the company so anal about overtime. I can't believe they want to fire people over it now.

BTW excessive overtime was defined by having more than one hour of overtime a week.

Yeah we are required to be at a 645 am meeting and then IF business allow, closers allow myself can stay. Otherwise I need to drive home and come back at 12...so I can dfill iphones cause we have no stock by 845am. Lol at this overtime. I've had to stay late cause we only had 2 openers and closers all week. Sad but the end is near.

@txf- No. This is not legal and the department of labor can help you with that. Make sure you keep accurate records of what you did work and when they sent you home. Or you could simply challenge your manager by explaining this is illegal.

What a dumb a$$ manager. They need to be the ones that manage the OT. Worthless.

Ask management what is excessive, if they can not give you an answer, then tell management you would like to go home promptly after your shift ends. If they ask you to stay and work, and then discipline you for it , call a lawyer.
