Working - Overtime Question
Does everyone who works more than 40 hours a week do those extra hours automatically become overtime (time 1/2)?? Or is there some special thing you must have?

Re: Working - Overtime Question
If your position is classified as non-exempt, then yes hours worked over 40 hours would be time and a half.

Re: Working - Overtime Question
Your job description has to be classified as eligible for OT. Then it falls on company policy -- some places require authorization from your supervisor.

Re: Working - Overtime Question
Ok, maybe I should be more specific. My DH (construction) has a guy that may work more than 40 hours a week... is he eligible for time 1/2?
ALSO, my DH isn't strict. The guy could work 24 hours a day if he wanted. Is there a limitation on the amount of overtime??

Re: Working - Overtime Question
Yes - as long as you are paid hourly and not salary you get time and a half

Re: Working - Overtime Question
Is there a limit to the amount of overtime you are able to get? If this guy works like 68 hours a week (just because the job is open and he wants to, not cause my DH makes him work) he is able to collect 28 hours of overtime? Do weekends count?

I don't think there's a limit, but I don't think employees should be able to work as much as they want to get extra money like that. I think anything excessive like that should be approved or requested by the manager/owner.

Re: Working - Overtime Question
The way I bill our non exempt employees is like this - If you work over 40 hours a week, anything over that 40 hours is time and a 1/2. While we don't have a maximum, I do try to tell the manager's to keep it under control.
At time and a 1/2 - the $$ adds up quickly - and the client usually wants an explanation as to why OT is so high.
