Hourly employee worked holiday and Saturday - is he entitled to overtime? 07-07-2004
An employee only worked 27 hours from Monday through Thursday. Friday was a holiday, but he worked 8 hours to make up some of his time. On Saturday he worked 4 hours. What is his overtime pay? 4 hours?
Rita Risser replies:
Under U.S. law, overtime only kicks in after 40 hours a week. Therefore, he is not entitled to any overtime. You state's law may be different.
