Although the question is nonsensical in part, an employer can require you to do overtime if that is what the job needs. However, if overtime is not needed, you do not work it; overtime is not a part of the job, so you are not taking anything off.

Can an employer work you and then just give hours off for pay?

Not in compensation for your "normal" work hours. If you are employed to work a 40 hour week, and you work 40 hours, you must be paid 40 hours pay. However - it becomes a little more cloudy when it comes to overtime compensation. An employer must reimburse you with overtime compensation (time-and-a-half - you earn one hour & 30 minutes for every hour of overtime) BUT he has the option of either paying you or forcing you to take "compensated time off." To keep it simple - use this example: You work 41 hours this week, earning 40 hours of straight pay and one and 1/2 hours of overtime. Your employer tells you that he isn't going to pay you, for your overtime but that you can come in an hour and a 1/2 late, or take off an hour and a 1/2 early at some future date. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE - Various state labor laws address this issue in different ways, and it is also subject to labor contract negotiations, so the example may not be a universal practice but it is a fairly typical example. Check with your state's Wage and Labor Board for information specific to your state.

Can an employer 'bank' an employees hours My boss wants me to save my summer overtime hours that I worked and he'll pay me in the winter when I take more time off. Sounds good but can he do this?

Every state is different, but I believe it's illegal for this to occur in any state. You should contact your local employment office. The granting of "comp time" instead of paying for overtime is not generally permitted, unless you work for the government.


If you work your 5 day work week and you are required to attend a meeting on one of your days off do you get that time as overtime or comp time?

You will have to ask your personnel office or your employer. Many places of employment have different rules.
