They'd probably be great folks to prepare your taxes, though.

Jack is irritated. (See? --> 
)
The night before last Jack had to call out of work because he wasn't feeling well. This resulted in Jack getting written up for too many call-outs, and in Jack losing the two-and-a-half hours of overtime he'd put in earlier in the week.
On the other hand, Jack did get to hit things with a large hammer today after work, so there is that...
Had to replace an outdoor faucet and needed to chip away a bunch of cement to do it.
Cool Story: When Jack was 12-ish, there was an old burned-down one room cabin out in the woods behind his house, nothing left of it but rotting floorboards and the stone chimney. Jack used to spend hours out in the woods banging on the chimney with rocks, chipping off bits of the chimney stones. Because young Jack was a strange kid. But this apparently endowed Jack with excellent stoneworking and masonry skills - the notch that I had to cut out of the cement in order to remove the old faucet and put on the new one was nearly perfect, despite being chiseled out with a big foot-long concrete chisel and a 4 lb. sledge hammer.

What state is Jack in? That would be illegal in many.

Overtime usually has to be hours accrued over 40 in a week, but you have to be physically in the office for more than 40, no? I've had this happen many a time.
Put in an extended shift early in the week which WOULD have brought me over 40 hours worked for the week, then had to miss a day and use PTO, which puts me at, say, 42.5 paid hours for the week but only 34.5 of them were actually worked, so it's all paid as straight time.

It depends on the state.
In California, you accrue OT if you work more than 40 hours in a week OR you work more than 8 hours a day. So you can't claw back OT by cutting someone's hours after the OT occurred. The law was specifically designed to stop that kind of predatory wage theft.

Nice. Alaska, California, and Nevada apparently do that, and Colorado but only after 12 hours. The other 46 just stick to the Federal standard of over 40 hours in a workweek.

Making a mental note that @Whizbang Dustyboots is anti-corporate and therefore against the American Way...
Interesting. I have known people who do 4x10 hours a week and really like the three day weekends.
