| May 2, 2019 at 21:41 | comment | added | zr00 | Could you edit the question to say what kind of work do you do? There may be certain restrictions in a region based on what industry you're in. | |
| May 2, 2019 at 9:13 | comment | added | Bernhard Döbler | Did they pay the overtime and you now fear you are getting less money? | |
| May 2, 2019 at 9:06 | comment | added | alephzero | There's a difference between "stopping you from working overtime" and "stopping paying you for working overtime". I guess the question is about the second one! | |
| May 2, 2019 at 7:34 | comment | added | Chronocidal | @BSMP In Germany (where they have strict limits on the maximum number of hours people are allowed to work) I knew an office which literally had the lights turning off, automatic shutdown on the PCs, &security walking the building to escort out any stragglers. Being a financial services company, this was not just about the hours-worked laws, but also to reduce opportunities for unsupervised people to commit fraud. Working excessive overtime (and objecting to anyone else doing the work instead) will be a massive red flag for potential fraud to your employers, so OP needs to consider that | |

| May 1, 2019 at 21:00 | comment | added | Ian MacDonald | Which region are you located in and are you talking about paid overtime? | |
| May 1, 2019 at 18:46 | comment | added | pipe | As usual, if you ask if someone can do something you must add a location tag! I could write an answer to the question but it's pointless because it's not likely that you're covered by Swedish laws. | |
| May 1, 2019 at 18:06 | comment | added | Tom | Yes and there might be legal limits on the hours you can work overtime regardless of who you are working for. | |
| May 1, 2019 at 17:09 | comment | added | Hagen von Eitzen | The usual rules for overtime are (in my jurisdiction)that overtime needs to be ordered, hence you working (payable) overtime could be stopped by no longer ordering you to work overtime ... | |
| May 1, 2019 at 17:03 | comment | added | bob | This might be a good question for Law SE as well as labor laws in your locale may apply. | |
| May 1, 2019 at 16:35 | comment | added | BSMP | There's currently a close vote on this for it being about "company-specific regulations, policies.." which I think technically applies but I can't imagine a situation where a company can't stop you from working any and all hours you want. | |

| May 1, 2019 at 13:28 | comment | added | brhans | It's not clear to me why you might think that they could not limit your overtime. I assume you're still being paid for whatever 'normal' time you're expected to work? Could you clarify your question a little? | |
| May 1, 2019 at 13:25 | comment | added | user34587 | Have they explained why they are stopping you from working overtime? Do you suspect it's indeed just because they'd have to pay out less if your colleagues did it instead? | |
