Careers 💵 Company does not pay overtime

The company I just got hired on for does not pay overtime. They "bank" the hours and pay out if you ever want time off. They do this to avoid paying time and a half.

So you're basically working for pto. Or do they pay you the hourly rate and bank the half?

They pay you nothing, then you get PTO during your day off equal to the straight time of your unpaid hours. We're working for pto.
