What is Overtime?
- All employees, including those who are paid a weekly, monthly, or annual salary, are inclined to have paid overtime pay for overtime hours they work unless they have entered into an overtime agreement.
- Overtime hours are to be calculated both on a daily and on a weekly basis. The higher of the two numbers is overtime hours worked in the week.
- Except as noted below, overtime is all hours worked in excess of:
- eight hours a day, or
- 44 hours a week.
