It all depends on your compant's policy on overtime. If they state that overtime pay and work is not allowed, they can actually terminate you for working hours over your scheduled shift. If they allow overtime, they must pay you that time. Each state has different rules in regards to overtime pay, and I would check with your state agency. Also, a certain amount of days without a break (example 6 days in a row) as long as the hours work out to 40 per week, that extra day of work would not be counted as overtime.

Employer breaks up overtime pay by giving extra hours of regular pay and preimum pay then same amount of extra hours with half my pay rate but then counts half time pay as hours worked?

No. An employer can not pay an employee half time unless the following requirements are met: 1. the employee's hours must fluctuate from week to week;2. the employee must be salaried and be paid the same each week regardless of the number of hours that the employee works during the week;3. the fixed amount must be sufficient to provide compensation at a regular rate not less than the legal minimum wage.4. the employer and the employee must have a clear, mutual understanding that the employer will pay the employee the fixed weekly salary regardless of the hours worked; and5. the employee must receive a fifty percent overtime premium in addition to the fixed weekly salary for all hours that the employee works in excess of forty during that week. If the employers often do not follow all of the requirements of this method and their employees are still owed time and one-half for all hours worked over 40 hours.


Can an employer make an employee pay for overtime work incurred to another employee who worked overtime for covering the employee's shift?

Oh, we don't need to worry about that. It's important for everyone to feel valued and appreciated for their hard work. Employers should handle overtime pay fairly and in accordance with labor laws to ensure that employees are compensated properly for their time and effort.

Your employer has stated that I am on salaryand have never received overtime but I have been paid for less than 40 hours if no 'voucher' is submitted in time Is this legal per labor laws?

In the United States an employee must be paid for time worked. Failure to fill out a timecard does not negate an employee's right to his earned wages. A worker can not be fired for demanding earned wages and a claim for wages can be filed with your state's department of labor or the US Wage and Hour Division.
