What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ILLINOIS
I have never been paid like this and I want to know if its legal or not..
I get paid $15/hr as a manager of two small cafes. This is what my pay stub looks like:
Earnings Rate Hours/Units This Period
Regular 10.50 80.00 840.00
Overtime 15.75 13.62 214.52
Bonus 0.00 360.00
Gross Pay $1414.52
I constantly work overtime... 10-15 hours per week. The owner does a base hourly wage for all employees if they make over $9.50/hr. If you put my "Regular" earnings plus my "Bonus" earnings, it always comes out to $15/hr. Yet, I only get over time pay based on the "Regular" earnings of $10.50. So, in reality, I am only making an extra $0.75 an hour extra to work overtime. I firmly believe I should get (and deserve) time and a half based on the $15 an hour. Is this legal? If so, why? If not, what do I do?
I hope all of this makes sense. Thanks for your help!!
