We (exempt) may have to be compensated for off-hours work, which tends to mean we are not allowed to do off-hours work. But we are evaluated on getting our job done, so we work off-hours secretly:
Yes, I am aware that many of our exempt employees do extra on their own time. But they are not so blatant about it that I can catch them red-handed.
We do have to compensate them for extra hours worked, but they have to request the compensation.
I am in a completely different category. Active duty military. Those categories don’t quite apply to me. I just have to enforce them.
