Can an employer just change your work hours just like that? DH's hours were 9 to 5. He got an email today that said new work hours are 8 to 6. That's an extra 2 hours a day! He is salaried so there is no overtime pay. Is there anything he can do? Is it illegal to ask someone to work 10 hr days?

Re: Work Hours - Info Needed
I know people who are in jobs that they don't get paid overtime, and those are jobs in financial firms. But they get a lot of vacation time to begin with. Problem is, it's hard to use it.

I can tell you that I know dozens and dozens of accountants who are working 50, 60, 70, even 80 hour weeks right now and are not getting overtime.
If you see me posting at 8pm during the week I'm posting from work.

Are you sure you are not exempt?

I am exempt (meaning I'm not entitled to overtime and still have to work it!) otherwise I'd be sure to be out of here at 5:30 if I wasn't getting paid!
