I am entitled to overtime because my job duties do not meet any of the exemptions. How must my employer calculate overtime pay?
Overtime is to be paid at one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week (a consistent, consecutive seven-day period defined by the employer). Overtime must be calculated each workweek regardless of the length of the pay period. Overtime need only be computed for actual hours worked. Vacation days, paid holidays, or sick days (time not worked) do not need to be included in an overtime computation. Non-exempt employees in the private sector cannot be granted compensatory time in lieu of monetary overtime compensation.
