Can my employer require me to sign a waiver giving up my right to overtime pay?

No, your employer cannot require you to sign a waiver giving up your right to overtime pay. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay non-exempt employees overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, and this right cannot be waived. Any waiver of this right would be considered illegal and unenforceable. Additionally, some states have their own laws regarding overtime pay and may have stricter requirements than the FLSA. It's important to check your state's laws to determine what your rights are regarding overtime pay. If your employer is pressuring you to sign a waiver giving up your right to overtime pay, you should consult with an employment law attorney or your state's labor department for guidance.
