If you are an hourly employee, there is no lawful way to do this. If you work more than 40 hours in the payroll week and are not paid overtime, your employer is in violation of federal law. An employee cannot give up his or her rights to overtime or minimum wage, even if the employee wants to. HTH, and thanks for reading the blogs!~ Caitlin Hi Nel!

I have started a new job, however have not accrued any vacation. I have planned to be off for two weeks in November. My new employer understood that I would be away during this time. I also asked if I could work extra hours and be paid during my time off in November, as I cannot afford not to be paid. I do not want to get my current employer in any trouble, nor do I expect overtime. I am the one that is leaving and feel that my employer is doing me a favor. How do I ensure there are not penalties to my new employer? As many Americans, I recently had to close my business due to the poor economy.
