Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee
Overtime Pay
If you are an administrative employee, basically a secretary type employee, and you are paid an hourly rate, and paid on the 1st and 15th of every month (80 hour basic 2 weeks pay), does that company still have to pay you 1.5 times your hourly rate of pay for work in excess of 40 hours in a payroll week? The position is not salary, it is hourly and there are no supervisory duties.

Re: Overtime Pay
Usually the answer will be yes, the employer is obligated to pay the overtime premium for every hour worked in excess of 40 during a single work week.
