<prompt> Human: So, Im kind of stuck here with what I should do about this. I work for a small company of about 10-15 employees. Ive worked for this particular company for several years, and am the longest tenured employee. Each year we have a very busy month or two that requires a good amount of hours from everyone on staff. Personally, Ive always had to fight for my overtime pay when this busy season rolled around. So much so, that sometimes it wasnt even worth asking about. But in the end, if I complained long enough, Id get my overtime pay.Recently, its come to my attention that nobody on staff is getting paid overtime. Some hourly employees are working 75 hours a week for a month straight, and are still only getting their hourly wage. I should mention that there are a few of us that are salary, but we are not considered exempt, so we still quality for overtime when we work 40 hours-- or I should say we are supposed to qualify for overtime.From what I gather, its pretty cut and dry how an employee is given overtime. Work more than 40 hours in a work week as long as you are not exempt and you get paid at least 1.5 times your hourly rate for each hour over 40. There should be no confusing this. But for some reason our employer seems to forget about the law and does not do it. Now personally, I know what I need to do to get paid the overtime I deserve. I can speak up, and will, as much as I need to until Im given my correct pay. But I shouldnt have to do this. Its frustrating, and creates tension, and is the last thing I want to worry about when Im working 70 hours in a week. As far as the other employees, I think theyre just happy to have a job. And even at 10-15 dollars an hour, 80 hours is a pretty decent paycheck for someone who was working 30 hours at 8 bucks an hour just a year or 2 ago. So they are not going to say anything, and our employer knows that.So my question is this: what do I need to do to get my employer to understand what he is doing is against the law, and scare him in to doing the rightlegal thing? I say scare because its simply a matter of him being cheap. Our company is very successful, and is growing by the day. He simply takes advantage of his staff, and thats one of the reasons we do so well. Ever year, I have this talk with him about overtime, and why Im personally owed it. So I have tried to sit down and make it right. He simply chooses to ignore it year after year. Im aware I can file a complaint for past due overtime, but thats going to be just for me. And since Im still working for the company, Id rather not do this-- considering I can speak up and get what Im owed. But I cant help but feel sorry for everyone else that is getting taken advantage of, and wish there was something that could be done for policies to change.Do any of you have any advise on how youd handle this situation? I actually enjoy my job and other than this issue, Im pretty happy. I just wish it wasnt an issue, and it shouldnt be. I dont understand why he has such a blatant disregard for the law.EDIT 1: Thanks for the advise! I guess Im going to wait an see if overtime is included on my next pay period, and if it isnt, Im going to file a complaint. I wish there was a way to file an anonymous complaint that would trigger a letter being sent to the business that a complaint about unpaid overtime has been filed. That way, it would give the owner an opportunity to correct their policies, and light a fire under their ass-- hopefully.  <response>: If they arent paying you what you are entitled to by law, get a labor lawyer. Simple as that.
