Abstract

The article discusses overtime abuses in New York state, citing employers who violate work contract clauses, such as clocking out workers before job completion, evading Saturday overtime pay, and misclassifying workers as exempt from overtime. It names United Parcel Service (UPS), Verizon, and Chrysler as prominent violators. It suggests that overtime laws will only get enforced if workers are organized to defend them, and explains that overtime pay is cheaper than hiring additional workers.
