[Throwaway for obvious reasons]
I don't get payed overtime because "you can only work 40 hours", even though often I am being asked to stay overtime or HAVE to stay overtime. They just add the hours to next week's but if it surpasses 40 hours then it just adds up!
Is this wage theft? I said nothing when was told about this but I decided to read up on it since my last job sometimes required me to work over time and they did pay overtime.
I get payed hourly, minimum wage. The state is NJ.
If this is indeed wage theft, what can I do about this? I am afraid of being fired since I need a job or I starve. If I end up reporting this to my employer I am afraid I will find myself in the street over the smallest detail.
Also, my coworkers seem to not be aware (or don't care?) even though some of them are even more affected by this.
Please help me reddi!
