The actual overtime hours really depend on what days they use to calculate. Overtime is figured on a weekly basis. Anything over forty hours is overtime of course but it can get more complicated than just seven hours over eighty. That overtime might be split up into different pay periods. Say if they figured hours from Thursday to Wednesday then anything over 40 during those days would be considered overtime. It is confusing, I know, but you can have say 100 hours and maybe not all twenty are overtime. You have to find out the days of the pay period they use at that company and figure it out from that. It also depends on whether they pay bi-weekly or bi-monthly. If I had the hours for each day worked in that certain pay period and the days they used for calculating it then I could tell you if they were wrong. But if you are right and they are shorting you on pay then you can take them to the labor board and get your pay for it.

It will depend on the labour laws where you live. Search out employment standards for you state\province. this will give you the answer. If you are working a union job, go to your union rep.

They should have only paid you based upon the over 80 hrs, be quiet.

Talk to your HR rep. first. If they don't support your claims go to an outside source like an attorney.
