Joint Custody
- Q. I work for a city in Arkansas. They are requiring that comp time is taken and not pay overtime.
- A: That is illegal under Arkansas law. Arkansas law requires comp. time be credited as 1.5. You should speak to an attorney about it. There are a few very technical exceptions to the law, but your situation doesn't seem to fall into those exceptions
- Q. Can an employer stop paying an hourly wage and switch u beginning next week to solely commissions.just got the news toda
- A: Thanks and in Arkansas they can change to pay you commissions so long as you still make a minimum wage. If you work as an employee for a week and don't get paid anything, that is a minimum wage violation
- Q. Am I required to supervise students off contracted time for free.
- A: Thanks and no you are not required to work more than the time you are contracted for. Working off the clock is illegal in Arkansas.
