Directed to work weekends and disguise that fact

Lockheed Martin GrayMatters Mini-Case 68


You have been assigned to work on a proposal to the government. The proposal manager tells you and several other non-exempt workers that he'd like you to stay home Thursday and Friday and then come in and work Saturday and Sunday, but report that you did work on Thursday and Friday. That way, you would work 40 hours for the week, but the company would not have to pay you overtime for the weekend. "After all, " he says, "proposal money is short." What do you do?
