"Altering of Worker Time Cards Spurs Growing Number of Suits" (New York Times article, free registration required):

Rosann Wilks, who was an assistant manager at a Pep Boys in Nashville, said she was fired in 2001 after refusing to delete time. She said her district manager told her, "Under no circumstances at all is overtime allowed, and if so, then you need to shave time." [...] Bill Furtkevic, Pep Boys' spokesman, said his company did not tolerate deleting time. "Pep Boys' policy dictates, and record demonstrates, that any store manager found to have shaved any amount of employee time be terminated," he said.

And so on...

At my job, our manager has gotten rather insistent about no overtime. We've gotten lectures about leaving at our scheduled time but at the same time we're told that we need to get our work done before we leave. No win situation.
My husband has also dealt with that at his job. Even worse though is that his company has pay caps on certain positions within the company. He has long since reached the pay cap for Shift supervisor and now cannot get any more raises. I don't know if this is legal or not. At the very least, its unethical. Corporate America is severe suckage!
