You are an HR manager. A manager comes to you and
says that she just learned that one of her reports was working an
additional 2 hours every night for several months. The
manager found out because she noticed that the employee was sending
emails at midnight every night. She did not think to ask
him about it until recently but has been receiving the midnight
emails periodically for many months. The employee is
non-exempt and did not put the after-hours time on his
timecard. He says he did not put the time on his
timecard because he knew the overtime had not been
approved. He generally works a 40-hour week (i.e., 5
8-hour days) and is paid a weekly salary of $1000. The
company has a policy prohibiting off-the-clock work and prohibiting
unauthorized overtime. When you talk to him, the
employee also claims that he had not received any meal periods over
the past 20 weeks, and his timecards do not show any meal periods
during this period. If he were denied meal periods
during the 20 weeks, what are the company’s obligations, and how
much would the company owe him?
