As an employee, you have certain rights and privileges, including the right to be paid for all hours worked. Under the law, most activities at work are considered “work”; this includes tasks performed outside of the workplace. This means that you should be paid for time spent producing tasks, working late at night, or even taking work home. But, how can you enforce your rights?

However, you cannot work more than 16 hours in a single pay period.
