I will never do short cuts, just not my style. I still love food 100% so for me to cheat it would make me feel like a loser. Very single at the moment, 6 days a week kind of ruined my last relationship, but thats the biz in general(bad for GF's). Im salary, so OT doesnt apply for me that is why Im worked like a mule.
But a chef friend of mine told me he received along with other sous chefs about 5k in overtime pay. This was about ten years ago so I dont know if the law has changed. If you are a manager of some type and work paid postions then you are entitled to OT pay if you work more than 40 hours. Example, he was the chef and was paid a salary, then the owners cut a bunch of paid postions and he picked them up. So someone called the labor board and they did an investigation of the place and teh owners had to pay him and the sous chefs a lot of money for overtime pay.
