Overtime Law Blog

I believe your employer can change or set your hours as needed; but more importantly: You are a salaried employee so you might be exempt from unpaid wages recovery
hourly workers must be paid for all hours over 40 worked in a week. If you are salaried and exempt, you do not qualify for overtime pay as you are paid by the job and not the hour. holiday weeks are a bit tricky and can be paid as a gift. Your employer doesn't need to pay you at time and a half for hours that are not worked. So, in the case of a holiday, let's say that you get 8 hours of holiday pay. Later on in the week, you earn an additional 8 hours of "overtime". In this calculation, you will receive 48 hours of regular pay...8 hours for the holiday and 40 hours worked.

| Check this out it cant be legal. Many of us have been required to work 45 minutes of OT per day and if you can't do it one day, tough luck. It must be worked in 45 minute increments over five days. Secondly, we are being forced to work 2.5 hours of OT next week on the holiday week without being paid OT for it. Is this legal? Can they do this? We have no option whether or not we want to do this. The 2.5 hours is mandatory. BlogCatalog |

| I found this on the dol site .Teachers are exempt if their primary duty is teaching, tutoring, instructing or lecturing in the activity of imparting knowledge, and if they are employed and engaged in this activity as a teacher in an educational establishment. Exempt teachers include, but are not limited to, regular academic teachers; kindergarten or nursery school teachers; teachers of gifted or disabled children; teachers of skilled and semi-skilled trades and occupations; teachers engaged in automobile driving instruction; aircraft flight instructors; home economics teachers; and vocal or instrument music teachers. The salary and salary basis requirements do not apply to bona fide teachers. Having a primary duty of teaching, tutoring, instructing or lecturing in the activity of imparting knowledge includes, by its very nature, exercising discretion and judgment. |
