Yes, anything over 40hrs must pay overtime. There is a Class Action lawsuit against the company I work for now because they didn’t pay us overtime the first 4 years I worked here. The lawsuit only goes back 3years though.

It was my old employer. I got my paycheck form the new one and thought time and a half was a bonus. Then someone there mentioned they thought it was the law. I searched NYS Dept. of labor and didnt see anything so thanks for the help guys.
I got paid by the hour.
I have one stub that has O/T on it with time and a half rate. the rest are just straight pay. One was a 51 hour work week.
Now I just need to figure out what to do
Thanks again

if you work for a big company go to HR. Do not give them originals of your paystubs if they ask, give them copies so you can always have proof.

> my current company OT is paid after any 8 hours in a day. so even if you work 35 hours and one day was 10 hours long, you got 2 hours OT…sucks being salary…also its 37.5 hour work week so at the 38th hour you got .5 ot pay.
Yeah, API on Walden does time and a half after 8 hours, then double time after 10 hours… and time and a half on sat (even if you only worked 20 hours M-F) and double time on sun.

Doesn’t matter, go get your money. I hate seeing any kind of company screw over their employees. ABSOLUTELY do not do nothing about this, or they’ll continue to do it to future employees.

They already have, I thought being at a small company would be nice. They lied to me, broke promises, and after they let me go, are trying to deny me unemployment, making up a bunch of lies to try to make sure I don’t get it…
Should I just contact NYS Dept. of labor directly?
