I need to find out if the "chinese overtime" some employers use to pay overtime worked is legal. It cannot be right for workers to work the required 40 hours at regular pay, then earn 1/2 that amount for hours worked above the 40. Please respond!

I believe that you are referring to a fluctuating workweek pay schedule. You can read about them at: http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_778/29CFR778.114.htm. That type of pay arrangement is legal in Tennessee

Is it also legal in Kentucky? I would be curious to know if you work for a vending company like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, if you wouldn't mind.
