At least two weeks now I've looked at the posted weekly schedule and it says I work over 25 hours(that's never happened in months) but looking at it shows it's more like 16. My supervisor's doing this by scheduling me in a single day from 12 AM to 4 PM. I doubt that this is just a typo now seeing as how this is the second time they've done this to me. Is there a reason why they'd keep doing this? Can I take action for it?
That is more like a typo. I would hope Eschedule is dinging the schedule writer for scheduling you for a 16 hour shift. There is a pretty color coded graph that shows your shift. I am surprised the schedule writer doesn't how long the shift is.
What you could do is allow it to be posted Saturday by noon(most contracts). Then, work the 16 hour shift. :) Not sure how much attention you would bring to yourself but they are not supposed to change the schedule except for mutual consent.

But that sweet 7 hours of overtime? Totally worth it!
I would ask a store manager about it. It very well could be causing them not to have enough hours to spread around to everyone. That time frame uses 16 hours when I am guessing it is a 4 hour shift. It is possible there are 12 ELMS hours not being used when writing the schedule. I think techlite would be able to answer that question.

Wow, deferring to me by name for advice? I'm flattered lol.
Technically, the writer could have just written OP an extra shift for any of a host of reasons and just mixed up their am/pm usage while ignoring the long schedule exception warning that should have popped up (a disturbing combination that wouldn't bode well for the writer's scheduling ability.) This would most likely not end up wasting hours that could have been used elsewhere.
However, I wish I could say eschedule wouldn't have written that shift itself, but I can't because I've seen it schedule the same bagger 6am to 10am and 8pm to 12am the same day. Twice. And I've had another bagger scheduled an 18 hr shift, tho I don't know if it were by eschedule or the writer. If eschedule did make those long shifts, those hours would have definitely been wasted.
