I am a salaried worker. Is there a limit to the # of hours worked before the company is required to pay OT?
I work a lot of hours at a company and they only pay the base pay. I am actually working almost double that but still only getting base pay. Just wondering if there is a labor law that says something along the lines that if a salaried worker works over 50 hours (as an example) that they company is required to pay overtime pay to the employee?

Welcome to the world of salaries. I think if I calculated my salary as an hourly wage, it would be like...minimum wage.

To answer this question correctly, you, yourself has to answer one additional question; does your employer categorize you as salary exempt or salary non-exempt?

If you are "salary exempt", that means you have agreed to work for an annual salary. Whether you work 8 hours per day or 16 hours per day, 40 hours per week or 140 hours per week, your employer is under no obligation to pay you overtime.

If you are "salary non-exempt", that means your employer must pay you overtime. The technical aspects of when the OT kicks in depends on the city and state in which you work. Some states require you be paid OT after 8 hours each day, and some after 40 hours per week.

Now, if you are "salary exempt", your employer will probably not agree to compensate you with classically defined OT (time-and-a-half), but you may want to inquire about "comp time", additional straight pay, or a spot bonus. Good Luck!

It depends upon your classification and state laws. If you're salaried non-exempt, they might have to pay OT. If you're exempt, likely not.

Not htat i know of. when i was a salaried retail manager. our company was in trouble and we cut lots of payroll hours. My boss said "you managers will make up the hours and take up the slack until things change." I worked about 75 hours a week for a long time.

You didn't mention what State you're in but, anything over 8 hours in a day, 40 hours in a week or 7 days straight. You're also entitled to back pay.

There is no limit. Salaried employees don't get paid by the hour and don't work a set schedule. The company can request you work as long as they need you to.

But in the name of fairness you should ask your company to compensate you for the extra hours with comp time. Comp time means you earn time off for the extra hours you work. When the work allows you can take paid time off.

Are you exempt or non-exempt? Ask your company's tax or HR department. Then go to the link below...

HI there been there got the t shirt?? I was a salaried worker
long hour's on time for life and company don't care there's only one person making the MONEY the owner that,s law no hoilday pay they just keep paying a normal wage every week
even when you have a hoilday my advise is try and fine a better job with out them knowing then hand your notice in remember your a hard worker and someone alse will always want you your to good for that company


Marianne T
No, that is why you are salaried and not hourly. Some companies (like hotels) do this on purpose so they can require you to work more hours for no more pay. Take a calculator and divide the hours worked into your next paycheck. If you wouldn't work for that amount per hour, start looking for another job.
