There is no such thing as “voluntary unpaid overtime” or “donated” time under the FLSA. Any manager who expects or allows his or her staff to put in unrecorded work time, otherwise known as working “off the clock”, is a wage claim or lawsuit waiting to happen. It is simply impossible under the FLSA for an employee to waive the right to receive at least minimum wage and applicable overtime pay for all hours worked. An agreement to the contrary (other than a wage claim settlement supervised and approved by the DOL) is null, void, and completely unenforceable. Employers must ensure that all non-exempt employees properly record all time worked and they are paid for all such time.
