Overtime question? |
A former employer would not give us overtime. We were paid every two weeks. Week one our pay would be 45 hours and the next week we would get a day off because we would have worked over 80 hours in 2 weeks. I thought overtime was calculated weekly - I would love to have them audited - she ripped alot of people off if this true. Anything over 40 HOURS is considered overtime. It is not calculated by number of days in a week you work . With that being said, if your work day is 8 hours, then your boss gave you an additional 3 hours off without pay -- because you didn't work 8 hours the day you were given off. I would contact the Labor Board to ask them about this. If you want to report the employer, file a complaint with your state's labor dept. An employer can give time off, but it must be within the same week. Federal overtime law states that time over 40 hours must be paid at the rate of 1.5 times your hourly rate. If you are salary, there are different rules for different job titles. Check dol.gov if you want more information. overtime isn't guaranteed with any job. read your department's policy manual. if you discover that you are correct in stating that you are owed overtime pay, submit copies of your paystubs and proof of hours worked to the person responsible for your paycheck. if you find that there is no policy for overtime, consider it a lesson learned. Unless it's a union job and you are under a collective bargaining agreement that defines that work schedule, then this seems to be a violation of the federal overtime regulations. Yes, overtime is calculated weekly in most states, but there are a few exceptions. Your employer is required to post the Federal Wage Order that applies to your company - that will detail the overtime requirements for your job. If they are not complying with the wage order, you should contact your state's labor board. It should be calculated weekly, but if you are an exempt (as defined by your state) or salaried employee, it may be perfectly legal to do so. Check your state information to be sure. no1 OT is paid per week..OVER 40 hours PER WEEK is OT - you should totally reported!!! |
