Do we get paid for overtime hours? - MT


Posted: Aug 06, 2012

I have a few hours of OT on my timesheet.  I know we get paid by the line and holiday incentives but what if we have OT hours?  

If you are an employee, then yes you should. - anon

I do believe it is a low in all states that you are paid time and a half for OT. But you should check your state laws or ask your HR person.

As long as OT was approved in advanced - Otherwise they can deny it

My supervisor put it on my timesheet. Does anyone know what the pay is for OT?

Overtime pay is supposed to be time and a half your regular rate of pay. For example, $10 an hour would be $15 an hour, that's federal and state law. Ask your employer, I know there have been issues with that at some of the companies.

Not Getting Overtime Pay???
Feb 21, 2011

I work second shift, so, due to the time change from PST to CST, after 10 pm my time, the last hour of my shift shows up as the next day. I worked 1.5 hours this morning and then my regular 2:30-11 pm shift, so I figure I should be paid for 1.5 hours overtime, but my calculated time (I recently discovered this on the current time card page) shows me as only getting credit for 0.5 hours overtime with 8 RT (Regular time) + 0.5 OT hours showing up on Sunday and then 1 hour showing up on Monday as ...

I know when I call in to have work assigned (OT accounts) they always ask what kind I want.  I usually just tell them "Whatever" and they confirm I do all work types, say thank you and away we go.  Now I am wondering.  Seems like after we have had OT on my accounts the next day there is a MUCH higher than normal ratio of crappy dictators.  Are the people working OT the day/night before allowed to choose to not do those dictators?   I had one of the support staff th ...

Not only cut in pay, it seems like the OT is no longer time and a half.  I can't believe the amount of money I have lost.  Anyone know how they figure overtime??   Also, I seemed to notice that whenever we complain about  FIESA, like about them picking short reports, it seems to happen even more.  It makes me think they probably read this forum too and get a good laugh out of it.  Sorry, but I tend to believe they resent us because we make more money than they ...


Wonder About Mandatory Overtime
Apr 18, 2015

Could the suits be so devious as to require mandatory overtime so it temporarily boosts income so they look like they are paying a living wage? Or is there just a supply/demand problem? I did check into mandatory or forced overtime. It is legal as long as it is not causing a safety risk and there are 16 states putting restrictions on forced overtime. Alaska, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Isl ...
