I don't think you can sign away your legal rights. At a few restaurants I've worked at, they've asked people to sign an agreement that they can work OT, but will only be paid the regular wage for that. The staff would not get the time and a half they should be getting.
I've been told these agreements aren't allowed, and even if signed, wouldn't hold up. Hopefully someone can clarify/debunk this for me.
