Be aware  that FLSA specifically forbids employees from volunteering their 
time to do  normal job duties.  If you are doing a one-time special event, you 
can  probably ask staff to volunteer their time without violating the law, but 
if  the event is part of a series or an ongoing program, volunteering is not  
permitted for employees covered by FLSA.


You betcha.  Now, the problem is, if you're salaried and genuinely  exempt 
under FLSA (as opposed to merely considered so by your employer) then you  
aren't due any additional pay.  On the other hand, if you are paid by the  hour, or 
if your pay is diminished when you miss time, then you should get  overtime 
over 40 hours--the feds don't do eight-hour overtime, and they are the  ones 
who cover public employees.  For assistance call the local DOL or  write me a 
nice note promising free coffee and I'll help you put the boots to  the boss.  
Or something.
