Salaried has nothing to do with overtime. What matters is whether you are exempt or non-exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. We have salaried employees that are eligible for overtime, because they are non-exempt (in other words, the FLSA applies to them and you have to pay them overtime). You can be salaried and exempt, which means you don't get overtime, but you also can legally leave work after 1 hour and they still have to pay you for a full day. You can also be hourly and non-exempt, but it's legally impossible to be hourly and exempt. So, hourly people are ALWAYS eligible for overtime. Hope this helps

Recommend you check your state or provincial regulations.
Usually if you are salaried, you are expected to work X hours of work per week as per a contract.
Usually an employer will allow you to have lieu time for overtime as long as your work is done . Nothing mandated by the government. At least not in Ontario.

If salaried, it is unlikely that you will be paid overtime. Some employers will give you comp time (if you work 48 hours one week, you get paid the same, but later when it's slow you can take a day off without using vacation or sick time), but many of them won't even do that anymore. It's worth checking into, though.

You have just entered the Grey area. Legally an employer is supposed to pay overtime for overtime hours. However, with salary it is a bit more flexible. If it becomes abundantly abused, then document your hours and you could be compensated (and fired). It's up to you to determine how much abuse you are willing to accept.

That may actually depend on the state. But in most cases I believe they are not obligated to pay you overtime rate. Many employers will pay a "bonus" for extra hours, but I don't think they can call it paying you overtime in the traditional sense.

you want to the contact the CT Dept of complicated artwork, or regardless of they call it. they are going to be able that ought to help you sort this out. Many agencies do this, the position they war to declare you're an exempt worker purely to sidestep paying OT. The Federal version of the place of work could also become in contact.

I don't think so. Where I work, people are just expected to take off other time to make up the difference in hours.

That, my friend, is the definition of salary.
Sorry. Enjoy working late!

Sorry, no. It should be in your contract.
