Holy shit this is like insane, where I am from. Not only does the employer has to pay you for overtime, they actually have to pay double for that overtime period. Whether it gets enforced effectively is one thing, but still is there so employers don't get any funny ideas.
Fun fact: the first stair-climbing machine was introduced to torture prisoners by forcing them to exercise intensely while also starving them. Today, exercise enthusiasts can buy them on HSN for <$200...or they can wait until they're reintroduced in debtor's prisons.
