My employer has issued same day overtime in the middle of my shift. I’m concerned that this is against the Michigan fair labor act
Hello ****, under the Michigan Fair Labor Standards Act:
- Employers can require overtime work.
- Employees must be paid *.* times their regular pay for hours exceeding * in a workweek.
Please confirm the total hours you're working in a week.
That’s not my problem

They issued the overtime same day with no prior advance
Hello ****, in Michigan, there isn't a specific law requiring employers to give advance notice of overtime. However, if you're part of a union, your collective agreement may have rules about this. Check your employment contract or union agreement for details.
The Michigan fair labor act says that a employer has to give a notice * hours in advance before giving overtime or changing your schedule
Hello ****, I understand your concern. However, I couldn't find any provision in the Michigan Fair Labor Standards Act that requires employers to give * hours notice before overtime. Please double-check your sources or consult with a local attorney for more accurate information.
The Michigan fair labor act states that a employer shall not change a written work schedule without giving the employee with a timely notice and changing my schedule same day is not a timely notice
Hello ****, thank you for providing more details. However, as per my understanding, the Michigan Fair Labor Standards Act does not specify a time frame for "timely notice". This generally depends on the employer's policy or any collective bargaining agreement in place. Please consult a local attorney for specialized advice.
