Question

I live in Phoenix AZ

Answer 1

No. I work on salary and work over 40 hours all the time. It is in my contract that employess do not earn overtime. Some companies do, some don't.

Answer 2

No. Labor laws are govern by the state. The only time it falls under federal labor law is if you are employed by the federal governemtn your in an industry that is governed federally... like a bank. for example.


However most states conisder anything over 60 hours to be considered overtime.

Answer 3

The "Fair Labor Standards Act" (FLSA) which was originally enacted in 1938 (and amended several times over the years) established a national minimum wage and guaranteed time and a half for overtime in certain jobs.

Jobs are categorized as "Exempt" or "Non-exempt".

“Non-exempt” employees are covered by the overtime provisions of the FLSA and must record each hour worked on the time record. If the employee works more than 40 hours in one workweek, the employee is paid a premium of time and one-half, whether in pay or in accrual of compensatory time.

“Exempt” employees are not covered by the overtime provisions of the FLSA and are paid an agreed amount for the whole job, regardless of the amount of time or effort required to complete the work. Exempt employees do not record hours of work on the time record.

To be exempt, an employee must meet ALL of the standards in the following “tests”:
1) be paid over a minimum salary – the “salary level test” - AND
2) be paid on a salary basis as opposed to an hourly basis - the “salary basis test” – AND
3) perform certain duties as outlined in one of the “duties tests”.
