In most states, if you are on salary your employer is not obligated to pay you for the exact number of hours worked; you are also not eligible for overtime pay. In some cases you won't get any compensation, but in many cases you will get paid time off instead of seeing the actual pay reflected in your paycheck.

Can employer change pay status from hourly to salary without notice then refuse to pay overtime?

Yes they can but they must also give you a reasonable amount of time as notice which is normally a week or a month depending on the company's policy regarding payment changes. As to refusing to pay overtime, salary pay is payment for a job done to completion so if it takes you five hours to do and you get paid for eight then basically get paid 3 hours sat in the canteen drinking tea, but if the job takes you 10 hours, then you only get paid for the 8 hours.

Can employer change hours worked on timesheet and paycheck?

That should read "can employer CHANGE hours worked on timesheet and paycheck? My husband's employer goes in the computer system and changes my husband's hours to reflect 40 hours worked though he has worked many more hours than 40 each week. His paycheck also reflects that he just worked 40 hours. If your husband is on salary, then he is paid only for 40 hours. If he is hourly, then he should be paid for the hours he works. Of course, if overtime is against policy, then your husband should leave work after 40 hours.

What is difference between gross salary and net salary?

Let's say your employer agrees to pay you $1000 per month, and then (for example) 20% of that is deducted for taxes and social benefits, so you only get $800. The gross salary is the salary before the deductions. In the above example, 1000. The net salary is after the deductions. In the example, 800.


When a prospective employer does a background check with your old employer in Texas the old employer tell them you were fired and would they rehire you?

They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
