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.
Sometimes employers seek to avoid overtime by granting employees compensatory time in lieu of cash for overtime hours worked, or averaging hours from work period to work period, or similar gimmicks. Many such attempts are not permitted under the FLSA.f the medical employer chooses, it may pay these employees FLSA overtime for actual time worked in excess of 8 hours per day, or 80 hours every two weeks (whichever is better for the employee), instead of for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per work week.
