We have to tools to correct this abuse, what we lack is the
will to use these tools to do so...

Thank god we do not have the will to impose more regulations on businesses.
Under your plan every employee would have to punch a time clock. In my entire working life , I never had to punch a time clock. And yet I did work a reasonable amount of overtime.

When I ran Cincinnati TIme, here in the Central Valley..hourly
employees ALWAYS got time and a half for anything over 40 hours.
Federal/state law.

More than 8 hours a day was time and a half AND more than 40 hrs/week
was time and a half. More than 12 hrs/day AND more than 60 hrs/week
was double time.

Holiday pay was always the same as above. If the employer offered to
pay "holiday pay" it was up to the employer..UNLESS it fell into the
over 8/40 or the 12/60 hours

Management....which can be the tool/killer...was allowed to work more
without paying overtime..up to a certain point...often decided by a
trip to the Labor Board.
