Stay of execution

Good call, Bruce - wouldn't surprise me in the least. But wouldn't my supposed new status have to be in writing somewhere? I started that job in a very casual manner - didn't even fill out an app. Carmen just needed a warm body 14 hours a week, I was acquainted with Carmen's husband, and he gave her my phone number. The rest is history.

My pay stubs usually (not always) give the hours I supposedly worked for that pay period - anywhere from 14 hrs to 40 hrs. Anything over 40 doesn't show on my stub and is paid under the table.

As I recall from my days as an actual professional, my pay stub never mentioned the hours I worked - whether 5 or 50. As you noted, it didn't matter - pay was the same.

Just thinking out loud here ...
Then you have nothing to prove you worked over 40 hours.
You will admit to being paid for the extra hours.
You have, of course paid the appropriate taxes on those extra earnings.
