Non-exempt employees working more than 40 hours per week are generally entitled to overtime pay at one and a half times their regular rate. Exempt employees, like certain salaried workers, might not qualify.
What are exempt and non-exempt employees?
Exempt employees are typically not entitled to overtime under Wage and Hour Law, often based on their job duties and salary. Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a week.
What are common violations of wage laws?
Common violations include failure to pay minimum wage, improper classification of employees, withholding overtime pay, and not compensating for all hours worked.
How do rest breaks and meal periods work?
Federal law doesn't mandate breaks, but many states require them. Meal periods are typically unpaid if longer than 30 minutes, while shorter rest breaks should be paid.
