OK i work and if i do more then 80 hrs am i so-pose to get paid time and a half after if i do more hrs ? ?

Answer 1

that depends on your employee classification. in the eyes of employment law, you are either exempt or non-exempt. a non-exempt employee is not exempt from any of the labor laws, including overtime compensation. on the other hand, exempt employees are exempt from certain labor laws including overtime compensation.

generally, in order to be exempt, you must meet one of the following:

1. have a professional designation (CPA, JD, etc)
2. make crucial business decisions for your company
3. supervise the work of two or more employees

if you don't meet the classification of an exempt employee, you are a non-exempt employee by default, thus eligible for overtime compensation.

Answer 2

Some industries have an exception to the 8 hour cap on the hourly-rate, that allows employees to work 10 hour days with no overtime, but even in those cases, hours after 40 in the week are paid at 1.5 the regular rate.

If you are a salaried employee, you get no overtime.

Answer 3

Contact your state's Wage and Hour Commission. Some states have even better laws than just being paid over 8 hours in a day, or more than 40 in a week.

Or try, looking up the federal laws at least.

Answer 4

If you work more than 8 hrs a day, you should be getting overtime pay. If you work more than 40 hrs a week, then you're considered as a full-time employee. You should be getting health benefits for working full-time unless your boss is very cheap.

Answer 5

check your State laws (it does vary somewhat).

Generally, anything over 8 hrs in a day is 1.5x up to 12 hours and 2xs after that. Anything over 40 hrs/week is usually 1.5x.

Is your 80 hours for one week or two?

Answer 6

Depends on whether you're declared exempt or non-exempt. Some companies will distiguish that as Salaried or Hourly employees. Basically if you're exempt or salaried, then anything time you worked above 40 hours is just time you gave to the company. Otherwise, by law, you must be compensated for your additional work time. The rate may be subject to company contract, local law and so forth.

Answer 7

More than 40 per week you should get time and a half. It's normally based on a per-week count, not a per-pay-period count.

Answer 8

In the USA any hours over 8 per day are at 1.5x, as are hours over 40 per week. Sundays is usually double time.

Answer 9

Do you get paid by salary or by hour? If you get paid only by salary, then you get paid the same. If you get paid by the hour, then you should talk to your boss or human resource person about getting paid for more hours.

Answer 10

Yes you should. If they don't pay overtime go to the payroll person or supervisor and check if there was a mix up in your check.
