Overview:

Although the rules on exempt vs non-exempt employees has changed a few times in the past 10 years, overtime worked is, and has always been, overtime earned. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

But 1.5 time a workers hourly rate of pay is just the start of calculating overtime earned. This course is designed as a refresher on what hours and payments are considered in calculating overtime pay.
