I never signed anything stating I would not be paid overtime yet when I asked for overtime to be paid I was told "that we do not do something like this and that I can have you sign something that states you only work 44 hrs a week." My question being can they do this retroactively? and what happens to the past 11 months of overtime I did work? I have a few more questions: when it comes to work responsibilities I was hired for inventory work and installation technician (this was done verbally the contract I signed a week after starting and it had nothing about my work description in it just company policies), but it has happened more and more now that my manager misplans the install and then I have to catch this work up as as well turning an 8 hr a day job to 10-16hrs a day plus having to work weekends which we agreed would be occasional not twice to three times a month and when I try to complain to the VP he just scolds me and tells me to be a team player/ stop whining? What can I do here this the third time this has happened and to be frank I don't want to work in this environment. I have a employment review coming up what are my best options?

You are definitely owed overtime pay over 44 hours per week. Do not sign anything that is inaccurate or can affect your entitlements to overtime pay. It is important that you contact us for a consultation before making any decisions with respect to your employment.
