Overtime pay may be required if you work more than 40 hours a week depending on your classification or type of position (i.e. nurse, firefighter, teacher, etc. ) as well as state laws. Typically, an employer that is required to pay overtime will pay for the overtime hours you worked on your scheduled paycheck.
The type of position you are in is classified under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as exempt or non-exempt. There are specific occupations and jobs that are “exempt” which means that overtime pay is not required for those employees. An experienced attorney can tell you if your job qualifies for these wages.
If you have or have been working more than 40 hours a week and have not been receiving overtime pay, your best option is to contact an experienced lawyer who can advise you of your rights under the FLSA and state laws.
