How are undercover investigators paid?
A. Undercover investigators retain on the job earnings paid by the client company and additionally receive a weekly salary from L.P.C., Ltd. When the investigator works overtime, the Federal Wage & Hour Commission’s overly complicated dual salary formula applies. The intent of this formula is to insure the investigator is being paid time and a half overtime wages, computed on base wages of the combination of the client’s hourly rate and L.P.C., Ltd.’s weekly salary. This is the only legal way to reimburse undercover investigators.
