Reply to comment by idiotdetector70 in Do i have to stay past my scheduled shift at work? by ggtt555

for my employer it's anything over 40, so technically i should be fine to leave on time right?

No, you wouldn’t be fine. The employer is required to pay OT for anything beyond 40 hrs in a week. If they require you to work 10 hours in a single day you aren’t required to pay OT so long as you aren’t exceeding 40 hours.

It depends on the employer too. If working in a call center that closes at say 9, and you are scheduled until 9, you may have to stay until all the calls are answered . If you work in retail and you work until 9, and the store closes at 9, you may have to stay until the last person leaves the store. If you are in food service, you may be off the floor at 9, but you may have to do a clean up, rolling silverware, filling condiments etc.
