Employees who work overtime must be paid at a rate that is one and one-half times their regular, "straight-time" hourly rate of pay. For example, if your regular rate is $20.00 per hour, your overtime rate is $30.00 per hour. This overtime rate applies to all time over 8 hours in a work day, or over 40 hours in a work week.
If you are paid by the hour, then you are entitled to overtime pay.
But, many companies try to trick employees by paying them a salary or by giving them fancy title and telling the employee that they are not entitled to overtime because they are on a salary basis. Do not fall for this common ploy. Call us today to find out if you are truly entitled to overtime pay.
