Can my employer spread overtime pay out over several pay checks if all of the overtime was worked within one pay period? My company pays bi-weekly. I recently worked 12 hours of overtime in one pay period as did several other employees. Now we are being told that because of the coronavirus situation our overtime pay for the most recent pay period will be spread out over the next 3 pay periods/checks. Can they legally withhold overtime pay and pay it as they feel necessary?
An employer must pay wages during the pay period they are worked. Therefore, if an employer fails to pay overtime when it is earned, this constitutes a failure to pay overtime. As a consequence, the employer could owe double. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, an employer that fails to pay overtime is required to pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to the unpaid overtime premium.
From the linked Department of Labor Fact Sheet: "Normally, overtime pay earned in a particular workweek must be paid on the regular pay day for the pay period in which the wages were earned." https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/23-flsa-overtime-pay

how san i get my recordwiped clean so i can start life over again
how long do the landlords have to fix a septic problem at my rental home?
My wife and I have been married for 2 years and her step daughter has been living with us full time for since we've been married.
My mother in law received temporary custody of the child when she was born (12 years ago). The custody arrangement was never legally changed.
My wife and I want to claim the child on our taxes since we pay for everything and the child lives with us.
I'm worried the mother in law may try to claim her though she doesn't provide any "real" assistance.
My wife said that they never went to court for the temporary custody arrangement 13 years ago. They went to a paralegal. How long does Temporary Custody "last"?
My mother in law insists that we pay her $2K+ or she will not allow us to claim her and will claim my wife's daughter herself.
This would be hardship since my mother in law provided $0 assistance after claiming our daughter last year.
