This is for the state of IL and I was trying to look up laws around this. I recently took a sick day off from work then had to work through lunch later in the week. I was emailed and notified that they would be adding an hour of PTO back rather than paying out the overtime. I am having trouble finding any specific laws or items related to this and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with this.
Other information about OT laws would also be helpful. For example I was reading that in IL OT that hasn't been paid can still be collected up till 3 years after it was worked and the employer is trying to make it mandatory that we submit overtime request in day of. I only just learned about that one.
I will be meeting with my supervisor tomorrow to talk about this as well.
Edit: Adding this since it may be relevant. I work as a field technician on computers. I often am either leaving early mornings or leaving job sites at 5 pm while about an hour from the city I live in. Of that, they also look to split the time difference for over time, so I'm only compensated for 1/2 of the travel time. It looks like my field my be exempt from requiring overtime pay in the first place from IL laws.
