Hello All...first time posting in this forum an hopefully I can get some answers to questions That I can't get answers for...here we go..
I live in Pennsylvania..
The job I have only requires that I work 35 hours a week.
I am also on-call 24/7/365..
When I get called out the first 5 call-outs (based at 1 hours each) are on the regular pay rate after that..they will pay 1-1/2 rate.
I used to get overtime pay for anything over 35 hours an was told that it was wrong..I was told that I have to work 40 hours before I get overtime rates..But being that employer only works me 35 hours, The first 5 after-hours call outs will be at regular rates then..
Question is..
Is it a law that I must work 40 hours a week to get overtime pay..
Or is the company just taking advantage of me?
Thanks for reading..
