ForumsManaging Employees and HR

Depending on the situation and the company. If you are a large company than yes, because anything over 40 hrs a week, the law states you have to pay overtime and you have to add that to the payroll, but the money will be deducted back into the company account. "If" there was an agreement signed take back your money. If no paperwork was initialed or signed by the employee and they work extra and don't get paid then they can come after you for back pay. If its completely off the "record" and you trust them to not come back at you, then make them work weekends until the debt is paid. Its really there responsibility to pay you back for a service you provided them. Make sure you have them sign something just in case saying that they will work extra hours non pay, something like interning or volunteer work. Just make sure you cannot get hurt with a lawsuit by that individual saying you did not pay them for their work. Be careful!!
