Unless you are a salaried worker, all hours worked must be paid, and that could include paying overtime if the actual hours that you work is over 40 hrs. a week.

As I suspect you knew when you asked, she can't pay you less than the statutory minimum wage. She's also likely to lose on time you spend cleaning up after close. At least in California (you should always mention a jurisdiction), these are work hours.
Your state Labor Board, whatever it is called, would be a good first stop.

Everything is allowed unless the law says it isn’t
Common law systems like the USA are ‘exceptions based’ - the law permits everything except what it prohibits. So, your question is backwards - rather than looking for laws that allow it, you need to look for laws that prohibit, restrict or regulate it.

In the US, if you're an hourly employee, ALL work time must be paid. This includes time, if any, that you work without explicit authorization (of course, you can be fired if you work unauthorized hours, but you must still be paid for them). In addition, you are not allowed to "volunteer" to work unpaid time. This last provision is to prevent employers ...

Assuming your denial of signing does not mean repudiation, of course you may decide to not sign. But depending upon your University policies, any contracts and agreements in place as well as laws, particularly state and federal laws, your employer has assembled a package designed to be attractive and to provide benefit to the employer.

Got this resolved. Basically Finland has no rights to tax the income in any way and it does not matter whether the worker resides in an EU country or not. Only thing that needs to be done from the Finnish side is mark it down to income registry. From UK side you just need to jump through the hoops of PAYE scheme.

I believe that this is drawing a distinction, as labor law usually does, between the manner of payment and the conditions of employment. Manner of payment has to do with the worker's status under tax law (or perhaps each of several bodies of tax law). Conditions of employment are related to labor law.

You didn't lay out the details of your case, but typically, the severance package depends on you signing a document in which you agree to certain things, such as, the dismissal is not for any unjust reason (race/religion/gender), and you will not pursue any legal action against the University. Other conditions might be attached as well, such as agreeing not ...
