It is 40 hours per week. You can work more than 8 hours in one day without being paid overtime. The excess of 40 hours per week in one payweek (however your employer defines that, it can start on any day of the week) requires payment of overtime. |

Federal law is time and a half for hours over 40 in a week - no restriction any more on time per day. The week, by the way, does not have to be Sunday through Saturday, can be any consecutive 168 hour period as long as the "week" definition is consistent for the workplace. And the 40 is actual hours worked - paid time off doesn't count toward the 40 to require overtime pay.

If you work over 40 hours then you get time and a half. Unless you took a vacation day or was out sick you won't get paid time in and half. You have to actually work the 40 straight hours and not used paid time. Also if your on salary you won't be over time. |

40 hours a week.....unless if you're a salaried employee, in which case you're not entitled to any extra pay over 40 hours...but then again, if you're salaried and only work 30 hours that week, you still get paid for working 40 hours. |

LOOK IT UP AT THE LINKS PROVIDED. State laws may conflict, so you should check them out at the links below.
Overtime also depends on your actual position. Many positions are exempt from OT because of their title/status. So they can make you work 1 million hours without overtime due to being a salaried employee at a particular job title. |

As a former union rep I can state for a fact that it is over 40 hours. However, I am a firm believer that it should anything 8 in a day. |

It is 40 hours if you are in a hourly basis . So once you have reached your 40 hours, you should get time and one half for every additional hour.
If you are on salary , it really doesn't matter how many hours you put in- over or under- they'll still pay the same. |

I copied this from my state's government page:
Q. Can an employer require their employees to work more than eight hours a day or more than 40 hours per week?
A. There are no Missouri laws which restrict the number of hours an employer can require an employee to work. If the employee refuses to work the requested hours, the employer can terminate the employee without violating any laws. If the employee is covered under state or federal overtime law, (if the businesses' gross annual volume sales made or business done is more than $500,000), they are to be paid time and one half for any hours over 40 hours in a workweek. (See RSMo Chapter 290.505) |

In the state of California if you work over 8 hours in one day its overtime (time and a half) if after 12 hours its double time, it doesn't matter if you only work 20 hours in one week. Check your state law. |

There are the federal laws which is 40 hours a week and then there are state laws, some that are different.
You would need to look up the laws in your state and what if any exclusions there may be. |

Federal law is 40 hours per week, then time and one half for hours over 40 in one week. There is one odd, rarely used provision that requires time and one half after eight hours in the health care field, but only if the employer elects to utilize the provision. This rule, which employers rarely elect, would also permit time and one half after 80 in two weeks, rather than 40 hours in one week. Thus, if a health care employer elect time and one half after 80 in two weeks, it must also pay time and one half after 8 in one day. |

Its 40 hrs per week. But this is only for people paid hourly, if you are on salary (aka white collar work), your work contract when you started should of spelled out how overtime works for your job position and you may not get any. This is all in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. |

Judy is right--the pay period is from whatever your company starts and finishes their pay week--and this is a federal law which is good for all states--the only deal is there are some companies like very small rest-homes, etc. that may have an exemption --call the national employment base--or go on line |

I beleive it's 80 hours in two weeks. But, that's only if your position is one that pays overtime. |

as far as i know, anything over 40 hours a week is considered overtime and you should be getting time and a half |
|

More than 8 hours in one day or more than 40 hours in a 7 day week. If either one occurs you are credited to time and a half for the "overtime". |

Employers are not required to pay you time and a half no matter how long you work per day or week. |
