Top 5 in sales, bottom 5 in labor?
What that tells me is that corporate management loves your GM and he's going to be promoted soon.

I don't care how often you get paid, unless you are salaried and make at least $455 a week you got time and a half for anything over 40 hours in one week. If they are not complying they are subject to be sued somewhere down the line.

He makes more than 455...
edit maybe they are getting around the salaried stipulation somehow.

He also has to be salaried and not hourly. I don't know if he is or not.

As of August 23, 2004, all employees who earn less than $455 per week, or $23,660 per year, have a right to overtime wages. In order to be considered "exempt," and therefore ineligible for overtime pay, employees must earn more than $455 per week, or $23,660 per year, and be paid a set salary rather than receiving hourly compensation. On top of this, they must be classified as an "executive," a "learned professional," a "creative professional," an "outside sales employee" or a "computer employee."

Well it sounds like he is doing a lot to accommodate you already. There are small facets of the restaurant industry that includes weird shifts and hours sometimes. I find it really easy to understand that things like this will come up in a small town? Random double shifts due to call outs are a fact of life, especially so in a small town atmosphere where there just isn't a big list of employees to call on. Life happens, it can't be perfectly plotted out on a schedule every week. Get over it.
accommodate me really I have a 8-4 availability monday-friday and open on the weekends.
and no I wont pick up extra hours, just so you can cut my hours the following week so I loose the overtime. last monday started a new pay period.
I am on a 2 week 80hr pay schedule, so the only way I can get overtime is to work more than 80 hrs in a 2 week period.
Thats a "free-will or right to work state" for yah.
You aren't entitled to overtime just because you 'pick up a shift'. You are just getting your hours in a manner different from your schedule. It happens. Its not perfect but you should be happy that you even make 13.50/hr doing something you love in "BFE", which for 22k population, isn't really.
Overtime should be anything over a standard work week. Anything over 50 hours should definately be overtime.
"Right to Work" is Republican double speak for "Right to pay people less and abuse them more".

To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Now the real reason why I left back on the 4th of July and then again on Thanksgiving eve I worked double shifts(because of call-offs) only to get screwed out of overtime because my hours where cut the following week.
If you work over 40 one week and under 40 the next week; they still owe you overtime for the first week
Example: 50 hrs 1st week; 25 hrs 2nd week; 75 hrs for two weeks but 15 of those hours are overtime. The question though is if your indurstry is exempt from overtime. I know servers are but pretty sure kitchen staff is not exempt. Check with your state labor board

He makes more than 455...
He also has to be salaried and not hourly. I don't know if he is or not.
good point but also, if you make so much/hours work and if that falls behind min. wage then they are generally required to pay the difference
