What is the overtime law, and who enforces it?
Generally, time-and-a-half must be paid for all hours over 40 hours a week, but there are exceptions. Time-and-a-half for overtime is required not by state law, but by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, enforced by the United States Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division. Overtime claims should be made directly to the federal Wage and Hour Division at the closest regional office, or at the Richmond District Office. You may also contact the United States Department of Labor at 1-866-4-US-WAGE.
