The 8-hour workday and overtime was addressed under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Additionally, the arbitration of disputes between labor and management, advocated by the Knights, has become a cornerstone of conflict resolution for labor relations.

This phase has both informative and persuasive goals. Firstly the orientation intends to clarify that salaried employees by the nature of the contract which they had signed, have the responsibility to render overtime service when the need arises. It also intends to clarify that while such overtime rendered is not compensated in an hourly wage capacity, they should be credited by management as PTO that employees can use at a later time. Aside from informing employees, this phase also attempts to inculcate a leadership enriched culture, where the employees view the company as an extension of themselves. This can be done by showing in the orientation how working overtime benefits the company, and how this benefit corresponds to greater gains for the employees. The orientation should also use PTO and petty cash support during overtime hours to make overtime work appear very reasonable to employees.

Over the last two decades, American workers have been clocking more and more hours on the job, and they now work more hours than workers in any other industrialized country. Annual work hours are 4% higher than they were in 1980, amounting to an extra 1 hour and 30 minutes at work per week, on average (ILO 1999). Workers are also clocking more overtime hours.

The growth in overtime work, while helping to drive the healthy growth in output in the U.S., has unhealthy social costs. It is taking its toll not only on workers, but on their families, communities, and, ultimately in many cases, patients, customers, and
