I've spent countless hours explaining that concept to intellectually challenged warehouse workers who couldn't grasp that they wouldn't get time and a half for putting in an extra 2 hours on one day when they had called out sick the previous day.

Lucky You!!!
My Collective Bargaining Agreement places OT at WHAT TIME the employee worked!
Hence, my drivers often start at 3 a.m. (OT) to beat traffic. They are on OT till 6 a.m., then it shifts to reg. time. BUT...after 8 hrs work, they are to be paid at OT rates till 10 hrs, then dbl time. Unions...you gotta love 'em!
