Sue is an hourly employee subject to the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. She decides to stay after work and help out on a project.
Because her employer is a small business with limited funds, she agrees to help out after hours on a volunteer basis, and even signs an agreement that she is volunteering for the company and does not expect to be paid.
She later changes her mind and demands that she be paid overtime for the extra hours worked.
1. Must the employer pay her the overtime?
2. Why or why not?
