For almost 200 years during the Middle Ages, Christian Crusades wrested control of the Palestine region from the SelÃ§uk Turks due to a series of military incursions made up of Christian armies largely from Western Europe. The control that the Christian Crusades exerted over the Holy Land was tenuous at best.
Similarly if an employee is contracted to work 40 hours per week normal time, then any hours in excess of the 40 hours is overtime. Overtime is not compulsory and employees can refuse to work overtime on short notice, unless the employee contractually agreed to be available to work overtime on short notice. In circumstances we overtime work on short notice is required by the employer, fairness towards the employee must be taken into consideration.
Exempt Employees and the FLSA. Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA allows employers to pay some employees a salary without meeting minimum wage or overtime requirements. Employers may ask an exempt employee to work as many hours as the job requires with no additional compensation, even when a work week exceeds 40 hours.Normally, employers canât reduce an exempt employeeâs salary if he works fewer than the usual number of hours.or example, if the employee is expected to work 36 hours but works 38 hours one week, the employer does not have to pay extra under the FLSA. However, some state laws do require extra pay. Under the FLSA employers can reduce the salary of non-exempt employees when they work less than the expected number of hours.
