I have a friend who keeps insisting that some workers have to be paid 1.5 times their regular rate for Saturday work and 2 times their regular rate for working on Sunday...this is even when they are not working more than 40 hours in a work week. I've looked at the FLSA, Davis Beacon Act, etc. and can't find anything. Have any of you heard of such a thing?
Edit: When I say "have to be paid" I mean it in terms of a legal requirement. I just cannot find any law that states this other than a couple of states (CA and KY) require extra pay on the 7th consecutive day of work, but that has nothing to do with Saturday or Sunday.
Re: Is there any law (state or federal) that requires extra pay for Sat or Sunday?
No.
That doesn't even make sense. I worked retail all through out college and you better believe I worked every Saturday and Sunday. There was no extra pay.
I am in NY, so I *guess* it could be different somewhere else.

I am in Maryland, and I know we have to pay our nanny 1.5 times for overtime (anything over 40 hrs). I'm sure it depends on your state and employer classification, but I've worked many a weekend and never saw extra $$!

I don't think that there are any federal or state laws about this. Everything I've heard of for OT/weekend/holiday pay is individual to the company and/or union.
Your friends theory would be detrimental for any retail/food service establishment.
Your friend is funny. (and dumb)
This makes sense. DH works an hourly gov subsidized job as i posted above he gets paid extra for Sundays and holidays.
That sounds right to me. My husband works for the Forest Service and usually works on Sundays throughout the summer. I know he gets paid extra for that, but it's not a lot extra.
This makes sense. And if your friend is around a lot of people in the same union, she might hear about it enough that she thinks it's a law.
Thanks for the responses! Between my own research and responses on this thread, I am completely convinced my friend is full of BS.
