One of the perks of working commission: overtime is six bucks an hour instead of four. Management doesn’t care about the extra two dollars, and I still make a ton of money.
One place I worked the rule was, if you went over 40 hours because you are working for someone else and it was a personal arrangement not by management request, you only got paid regular time no matter how many hours you worked. This was most likely illegal but A: management felt that since they were personal arrangements and not company needs they shouldn’t have to pay OT. And B: Everyone knew that if they complained about not getting the OT pay, management would stop letting people do these trades. It was a very popular thing to do, so no one complained that I know of.
Oh, boy. I’ve never worked retail, but i just know this isn’t going to end well for anyone.

To be fair, if you just turn up when you’re not scheduled to work… Why should they be forced to pay you for it? They didn’t ASK you to work!
