Go to Andy's forum and read the comments from those that work for them......They appear to be headed the same way as TK.

As a native Texan I can assure you that there is no law requiring overtime for over 8 hours a day.

No, the law says over 40, but if you read it, it allows structuring the pay week to pay for those hours over 8 per 24 hour period. It is a technical area that the companies are using to their advantage.

I don't know about Texas, but here in NY companies simple classify you as salaried and get around paying any overtime.
I found out about this the hard way way back when. Company I worked for had me averaging 72 hours a week. BUT the standing policy (nothing on paper of course) was if you got converted from hourly to salary you got a raise equal to your average pay per week over the previous year.
They made me salary and when I got my first paycheck it was the amount I'd been earning for only 40 hours. When I stormed up to HR they said sorry but there is a pay freeze. But of course they still expected me to work the 72 hour weekly average. Didn't stay there long after that.

Company is very disjointed, they are scrambling to try and cover gates
where guards are leaving. Hard to figure what the base pay is $125, $150 or what ever they write on the back of a business card to get guards to stay.
Equipment supplied is lacking a recycle holding tank system, translucent water tanks that in this hot weather are beginning to form algae. Maintenance support leaves a lot to be desired.
They call you a independent contractor however you sign a Time sheet as a employee. Sooner or later Texas Dept. of Labor will catch up with them and they will be require to pay backpay as the guards do work overtime under the employee definition.
