Huh?Is this pyramiding pay? Only hours worked at straight-time apply to the weekly 40-hour limit. This prevents "pyramiding" of overtime, where an employee earns overtime on top of overtime already paid. I was adjusting the payroll and was getting less straight hours worked and many more overtime hours to be paid. Still confusing.
So, no double time until 80 hours have been worked? 6 days x 12 = 72 plus 8 hours on the 7th day? I am just asking, for clarification, not arguing or disputing.To interpret the law (as Zig) impressed. Lets assume we start the workweek on Monday.
Monday: 8 straight + 4 time-and-a-half. (more than 8 hours in a day)
Tuesday: 8 straight + 4 time-and-a-half (same)
Wednesday: 8 straight + 4 time-and-a-half (same)
Thursday: 4 straight + 8 time-and-a-half (now over 40 hours)
Friday: 12 time-and-a-half.
Saturday: 12 time-and-a-half.
There's no provision for more pay up just because you have two or perhaps three things that move you into time-and-a-half territory.
You don't get double time until you work more than 12 hours in a day or you work more than 8 hours on the seventh day.
If the employee works over 12 hours in a day, they are entitled to double-time, or any time they work on the seventh consecutive day is also double time. What that means is that if an employee works 4 hours per day for 7 days, 4 of those hours would have to be paid at double time, but the remaining hours would be straight-time.So, no double time until 80 hours have been worked? 6 days x 12 = 72 plus 8 hours on the 7th day? I am just asking, for clarification, not arguing or disputing.
I stand corrected. Well, I'm actually sitting - I don't have one of them fancy stand-up desks...Not all time on the seventh day, the first eight hours only earn time-and-a-half. Double time kicks in at eight hours (unlike the other days where it kicks in at 12).
