I get paid on the 2nd and on the 17th I make 10.50 an hour. This last paycheck I got stated I worked 97 hours which I did and I only was paid for 1.09 hours overtime. Is this correct I have noticed this before but not with as much overtime.

I would check with your H.R. department or accounting. Because that does not sound right to me. Anything over 80 hours would be considered overtime pay.

Generally, anything over 40 hours per week would be considered overtime. However, you can run into a problem qualifying for overtime during a given period if you either missed a day for one reason or another. Even if you were paid for the day you missed it doesn't get added to count of hours worked for the period, because you didn't work. For example; holidays, vacation days, sick days, personal days, or just days missed could prevent you from reaching the number of hours needed before you can get paid overtime.
I'm not sure, but I think some companies might have a higher threshold where they start paying overtime, so you should check with your H.R. dept to see what the policy is on the subject. You can also check with the labor laws for your state first to see what they have to say on the subject.
I hope this information helps answer your question.

The FSLA law is not 80 hours per pay period, it's 40 hours per week. The company can use any format of a "week" Your work week may be Tuesday through Monday for example. Whatever your work week is has to be consistent. They can't say it's Tu-Mon one week then change it to Wed-Tu the next week. What you need to look at in determining the number of overtime hours you worked is how many over 40 in each week. It may be that part of your 97 hours ran into the third week. Typically if you get paid on a semi-monthly basis (twice a month) and are on a salaried basis (x dollars a month) you end up more or less losing 5 weeks a year because there are 5 months that have 5 weeks in them. However if you're paid on an hourly wage basis, you may have a legal complaint. Go back and take a look at the pay-period structure and go from there. If you were underpaid, definitely take it to your payroll department. Report them to the labor board if they really are cheating you out of your wages. Good luck.

There was an error. You worked a total of 97 hours, of which at least 17 were overtime (depending on your contract. Where I work I get paid O/T if I work over 35 hrs/week). Your income before taxes should be $1107.75 (80*10.5 + 17*1.5*10.5).

on a salary?
12 work days would be 96 hours at 8 hrs per day. That would give you 1 extra hour. don't know where the .09 came from.
If you're new to the company ask them to explain how the checks are calculated.
