Is it legal to offer employees a voluntary program in lieu of overtime pay?

meee asked:

I have been trying to find this on the DOL website for a while with no luck.

Could a company offer a voluntary program to their employees where for each hour of overtime worked in a pay period the employee could opt to have it put in as paid time off (ie extra vacation and sick days), in lieu of paying the overtime?

I understand that to force an employee to do this would violate the law, however as part of a voluntary program, would it be considered acceptable?

Does walmart pay for any uniforms we are going to have to wear?

connie h asked:

I woek at a walmart store and we are going to the uniforms after the first of the year. I was told that they were going to give us a $15.00 voucher for one pair of pants and we would have to buy our own shirts. Then someone else said that there is a site that says that walmart would pay for one pair of pant and two shirts. Does anyone know anything about it?

iOS 5 (Android Rip-Off?)

Wigley99 asked:

This is basically what was going through my mind as I watched Apple’s promotional video for their latest update for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, iOS 5. I know that I’m not the only person that can see that Apple just copied directly from Android and Windows Phone, there’s no denying it. I hope that this video can create an obvious visualisation of the features so blatantly stolen from their competition. “Lots of people buy iPhones. Therefore they are good.” – There are more flies than humans, and the vast majority of their time is spent eating faeces off the ground, maybe they’re onto something as well? You should give it a try. “iPhones cost more, therefore they are better/You just hate iPhones because you can’t afford one and are therefore jealous.” So the best app on Apple’s App Store was “I Am Rich” because it costs $999.99 and did NOTHING? I would have no problem acquiring an expensive device if I so chose, but I do not desire an iPhone at all, I am quite happy with my Galaxy S for now, and I plan on upgrading to the next best smartphone next year, which is likely to be the Galaxy S 3.
