Employment handbook overtime policy?
I recently accepted a new position with a company and was given an employee handbook to review. I was looking over the overtime policy and noticed that it does not appear to be in compliance with the federal and state laws. I am concerned that the policy could leave me in a difficult position if I were to ever be asked to work overtime, so I am looking for advice and guidance from a lawyer to determine if the policy is legally binding.

Private contracts, including employee handbooks, cannot change state and Federal law. So in your case, state and Federal law control, regardless of what your employee handbook says.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
