How is my rate of pay determined for calculation of overtime pay?
A. All compensation that you received is used to determine your rate of overtime pay. In addition to your base salary, any bonuses, commissions or incentive pay that you receive needs to be included to calculate your overtime rate. Whether you are paid by salary or on an hourly basis, your employer must include bonuses, commissions or other incentive pay to determine your overtime pay rate.
