abstract of my research
Kendall Gravitt: Amy Robertson, Guilford Immediate Care
The nurses and employees in my offices, sometimes work longer than scheduled or when they aren’t on the schedule. The employees are constantly picking up shifts and this discussion of overtime and overtime pay peaked my curiosity on how overtime can plague a job or an entire career. Through my research, I have discovered that mandatory overtime and unpaid overtime is increasingly being used to supplement the lack of workers and this illegal activity damages workers efficiency. There is evidence that employers are cheating their employees on payments due and the nation has taken notice. The Department of Labor has changed regulations in order to protect some employees from being taken advantage of by employers, but there are still violations. I have discovered that overtime is very likely to affect me in my future career and mandatory overtime is a problem in the nursing workplace.
