In the United States, managers are not allowed to require employees to work overtime without being paid for it. However, managers can still maximize productivity by setting long-term goals and deadlines for tasks. They should also schedule regular team meetings that allow employees to ask questions and get clarification on assigned tasks. Lastly, managers should recognize successes and accomplishments in order to foster a sense of competition among the team while keeping workloads in mind at all times.

By setting a healthy competitive atmosphere in the office. Pitting employees against each other encourages them to stay late, work harder and not ask questions. If employees are working under fear of missed deadlines or being reprimanded for poor performance, they'll become motivated to put in longer hours without feeling their labor is being taken advantage of.
