Is it wrong that I refuse to work passed the time I'm scheduled to work?

Nope. Time = pay

Management =

The reason this likely has nothing to do with ACA (Obamacare) is that the Employer Mandate applies to employers with at least 50 full-time employees (or if you add up the part-timers hours to make full-time). Assuming this is a local bike shop or even a small chain, good chance they do not employ anywhere close to 50 full-time employees (or the equivalent) so the ACA discussion is irrelevant.

He already stated it is a corporate bike shop, not a local chain.

Yeah that's illegal as hell. My mistake.

Either you are mistaken by what your manager said.

Or your manager was mistaken by how your pay worked.

Or they are breaking the law.

This OP is claiming that he is an hourly employee, is working hours after his scheduled shift and not getting paid for it. That's completely illegal and the discussion should stop there. That's a bigger issue than "refusing to work passed the time I'm scheduled to work."

OP - give me the name of your employer. I'll pass the info on to the Department of Labor.

More important question: do your customers know that their "bike mechanic" is some low-wage high school kid? If I'm paying a store to work on my bike, I assume an experienced professional is doing the work.

Im a high school student that works part time at a bike shop as a mechanic that pays me $9.25/hour 25 hours a week. My job typically schedules me to close and I can't leave until the manager on duty leaves and the manager that I am scheduled with is a workaholic and does not want to leave until 2 hours after the store closes. Yesterday I was scheduled from 12:30 pm - 8:30pm and I did not leave until 10:15pm and I am not getting paid for it because we don't get paid over time unless we work over 40 hours and they cut hours before that happens. I now completely stop working when 8:30 pm hits and my manager is telling me I have bad work ethic. Am I wrong for doing this?

This is why we need a $15 minimum wage. I guarantee this wouldn't be happening if the min wage wasn't so low.

1. you should be getting paid $9.25/hr for the 2 hours.

2. You don't get overtime until you are over 40 hours/wk or 8hr /day.

3. It is past... not passed.

4. You obviously aren't in California, because $9.25 is WAY below CA minimum wage.

If the employer is requiring you to stay, then, for sure you should be paid. That is the law. You need to contact your State's fair labor agency and ask them how to document the unpaid hours. It's that simple.

If you want another job, get one lined up while documenting the unpaid hours. If this is a summer job, then document the unpaid hours and give them two weeks notice as anyone should.

Either way, leave in an orderly, professional manner and get the State involved in collecting your earned pay. There's no way you should be okay working for an employer that is stealing from you.

The question is do you get paid $9.25 for every hour you work?

I'm sure this response will mimic 90% of the other responses, but just clock out when you leave. I'm 19 and I work at Pizza Hut and we close at 11 and I'm usually scheduled to work till 11:30 but often times I won't get out of there until 1AM depending on how busy we are and how motivated my 300 pound hobby jogger manager decides to be after close when there's dirty dishes in the back and food that needs to be prepped for the next day. Now obviously a big corporation with thousands of employees nationwide wouldn't be able to cheat its employees the way your bike shop employer is cheating you. Don't document it and go to the government or whatever, just be civil about it with your manager, this doesn't have to result in someone getting canned or leaving a bad rep for the shop, just say this isn't fair and that you want compensation for the time you've given to the company, and if he/she has a problem with that then its time to get the state department involved.

Best of luck.

You need to get paid for this work, as I am sure that 40 people have told you already. You won't get paid "time-and-a-half" but you should get paid.

The word is "refuse to work past" the time.

You're good.

Your boss is a slavedriver and hypocrite. Flip it: would he pay you for time you're not working for him? Fvck no.

And does he give away merchandise/services to customers for free if they just "expect" it? Again, fvck no!

Fvck your boss. I want to throat punch him.

Are you saying they don't pay you at all, or just don't pay you overtime?

Not paying you at all is flat out illegal. Not paying you overtime until you hit 40 hours is okay by federal law, but might not be okay for your state law.

You can start here:

If you aren't being paid, walk out. Its easy to pay someone for 8 hours when you get them for 10 hours.

You aren't earning $9 and hour, you're earning just over $7

He's taking advantage of you.
