Employers Must Manage & Report Overtime

Attorney Richard Celler

Employees are not required to ask for or report overtime in order to be paid for it under the FSLA.  It is the employer’s responsibility to manage the workplace and hours worked, not the employees.  Therefore, it is up to the employer to ensure that an employee is not working more hours than scheduled.  Additionally, an employee’s failure to ask for overtime after it has been worked is not a defense to a claim for overtime compensation.  Therefore, if you work overtime, and your employer knows or should’ve known that you were working it, you must be paid for it.  And, there’s no exception that your employer is gonna be able to claim if they were aware, or should’ve been aware.
