#overtimepay

Now I’m double time and a half today. Stocking shelves taking my sweet sweet time. None of the TSLs or merch supervisors around and I have another store left. Cool 16 hour+ day. Paycheck is going to be fat!

Change announced as of 4/27/2026 @ 1:00pm EST

Our departmental groups have been chatting about this potential since the beginning but the info finally dropped. That group is just but one of the many departments being squeezed to absolute death with due dates and high expectations of the perpetual ‘pull-in’ cycle of doom.

At the very least, we could look forward to being appropriately compensated via overtime. With that having been taken away as soon as Friday, I ponder how many people will leave prior to the handoff. Likely stick around for the ‘retention bonus’.

Wild a-s info but sadly it’s been expected for a while now.

We still have a couple days left, who the he-l knows what other last minute thing they may pull out of their a-s.

Godspeed ya’ll.

What the he-l is going on over there , are you still on ideploy , did they cut out overtime ,are you still throwing loads , details needed , the rest of the nation awaits…

They ask you to come in on your off day because of call outs but then they sc--w you out of overtime on the back end I will never do that again.

It is a complete joke that a company that forces exempt, salaried employees to work 20+ hours of overtime each week. These executives then have the stones to question if we worked 8 hrs???.
Our laptops take an additional 5 minutes to boot up with all the "productivity monitoring crzxp on them. Yet these clueless manager still don't know what we do.
Then to add insult to injury we have to waste at least 30 minutes everyday explaining to clueless "managers" what we did.
Wells fargo has lost class action lawsuits for not paying over time.
I cannot wait until this organization gets fined for violating labor laws.

If you are an hourly lead, key holder, or associate you should not be required to text, answer calls, receiving calls, respond to a stores accidental or legitimate alarms when the store is closed, answer calls from alarm company due to false or legitimate alarm, or having to make calls any members of management regarding work related issues when you are not on the clock, including the store manager without proper compensation, this is a flagrant wage and hour violation from Belk. Any of these type of instances must be documented and paid as it is a work related matter.
Belk is now requiring hourly associates to act as salaried managers under the “key holder” and/or “lead” title which is a basic hourly associate position. Please beware and document any cases of where you are not being properly compensated.

Examples of alleged wage and hour abuses
Unpaid overtime:
Misclassification: Employees, including drivers and managers, were allegedly misclassified as "exempt" from overtime pay, even though they performed non-supervisory duties.

So I am leaving CVX soon but have some great info and would be able to testify for another company who was hurt with the MARs pipeline contamination. Since I am not leaving with a package and will not have to sign anything to leave or get my pension why wouldn’t I reach out to the people who were damaged by CVX. How should I play this out? Oh by the way CVX cheated me out of over $50K of overtime pay so I am not real happy with that outcome either.
