  1. Overtime Pay Is Guaranteed Under Federal Law

  2. In the United States, according to both State and Federal Laws, almost all employees should receive overtime pay, as long as they work more than 40 hours a week. There are two different types of overtime pays: ● Overtime pay (usually calculated based on eligibility and is usually between 1.5-1.8 the regular hourly rate) ● Double pay (when eligible, the employee receives double the pay rate) Note: In California, double rates must be paid for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday, and for any hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work (in a week). To learn more about double pay, the attorneys at Rager Law Firm suggest you check with your local Department of Labor.

  3. Keep reading if you want to learn more about the overtime pay and check if you are eligible or not to receive it. If you believe that you are (or were) eligible to receive overtime pay, speak with Los Angeles employment law attorneys, schedule a free consultation, and receive a free case review.

  4. Who Is Eligible To Receive Overtime Pay? The general rule is that if you are earning less than $455 per week, you are eligible to receive overtime pay. If you are earning more than $455 per week, you are classified as an “exempt employee”, and ineligible to receive overtime pay. Some professions are not eligible to receive overtime pay. These professions involve: ★ Taxi driving ★ Truck driving ★ Working in sales ★ Working on a radio or television station ★ Working In a small open market

  5. Consult An Attorney There are several other professions, and the best way to learn more about all of them is by speaking with a knowledgeable employment law attorney in Los Angeles. You will be offered a chance to schedule a free consultation and learn everything about employment law and your eligibility to earn overtime or even double pay.

  6. How is Overtime Pay Calculated Most people believe that working on a Saturday will grant you overtime pay. That is not true, as overtime pay is usually given to those who work more than 40 hours a week. Essentially, if you are earning $10 per hour and have worked 55 hours this week, you will be paid the regular 40 hours per $10 an hour, and an additional 15 hour at $15 an hour. In the majority of states, the overtime pay is 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.

  7. There are some exceptions. For instance, medical personnel may work 30 hours in one week and 50 hours the next week. That is still considered a 40-hour week, and that individual will not be entitled to overtime pay. Some professions are different than others, but as long as you average 40 hours a week in a month’s period, you are not entitled to receive overtime pay. For additional information, feel free to contact the attorneys or visit the office for a consultation.
