Question

if i work overtime hours weekly ...but i get paid bi-weekly.....is it possible i get paid 87 hrs on regular pay instead of overtime and a half?

Answer 1

employers do what they want. But if you're scheduled to work 40 hours a week and are paid bi-weekly that means every other week you get a pay for 80 hours. So sure, if you did 7 hours overtime you'd get 87 hours in one pay, but if you're under a certain administrative level that 7 hours could be time and a half. Is better to ask your supervisor what to expect...or don't spend your money till it arrives.

Some employers get funny and tell you you can take that time off from work instead of paying you....sooo..ask them.

Answer 2

Best to ask somebody at the company in Human Resources or whoever does the payroll. I to am paid bi-weekly and our company pays overtime for anything over 8 hours in a day or anything over 40 hours in a week.

Answer 3

If you worked 87 hours total, you should be paid 80 hours at
straight at straight and 7 hours at time and a half.

However, there is no law that says an employer has to pay time
and a half.

Answer 4

That would depend on if you get paid by the hour or not. Saleried workers get a flat sum per paycheck no matter what hours they work.

Reguardless of your being paid bi-weekly, each pay week is recorded individually. If you are on the clock (being paid by the hour) for more than 40 hours, they owe you time and a half for each hour over 40.

Answer 5

Aren't there some employers that it depends on how they've set up their jobs some providing for OT anything after 8 hours of on the clock work and others that it is anything after 40 hours or work (actual work holiday hours vacation or sick time don't count toward the 40) and then others still that it's about working over 80 hours in a pay period as you mentioned. If you want an answer based on fact and want to know your rights as an employee you may want to contact your local department of labor or whatever it might be called in your area.

Answer 6

First yes if you job is not covered by wage and pay standards,
Many jobs such as police, fire fighters, correctional officers and more. are exempt.

Also in some areas teachers and employees of small stores.

Next if holiday pay is invovled, that pay does not apply to hours work, so you can be off a holidy during that pay periold,a nd work over time but not get overtime pay.

Answer 7

i think it's anything over 80 hrs in a pay period,is time and a half.

Answer 8

yes you would get 7 hours of over time

Answer 9

No
