How to get around paying overtime in the state of texas?

Question

Is there a way to not have to pay your employees overtime in the state of texas? I am asking because my employer does not pay time and a half for over 40+ hours. How can he legally do that?

Answer 2

I'd contact your local department of labor about this. I'm pretty sure what your employer is doing is illegal.

Answer 3

He can't. The only reason he can continue is the probable implication that if you make trouble you just won't get any hours next cycle.
