<\/p>\n
Overtime is a fairly familiar concept to people, and so is the pay rate– one and one-half time for the first four hours, then for every hour after twelve, twice the pay rate. The math seams simple, and most people can do it in their heads without so much as a second thought. However, if you are paid by commission or by piece, what’s fair for overtime compensation may be a bit trickier to decipher. As an individual, there are two ways of determining what your base rate would be:<\/p>\n
So overtime for the first four hours would be $30 ($20 x 1.5), and every hour after twelve, $40 ($20 x 2).<\/p>\n
Though this way isn’t always applicable to every situation, so the other method is:<\/p>\n
$10 (rate) x 45 (hours worked) + $200 (commission) = $650 (total earnings)<\/p>\n
Then the $650 is divided by the hours worked:<\/p>\n
$650(total weekly earnings) \u00f7 45 (hours worked) = $14.45 (The rounded base rate)<\/p>\n
So overtime for the first four hours would be $21.68 ($14.45 x 1.5), and every hour<\/p>\n
after twelve, $28.90 ($14.45 x 2).<\/p>\n
Almost all commissioned employees have mistakes made on their overtime hours and because most don’t even realize they are supposed to have ALL compensation included in the overtime rate, this usually goes unchecked. In some cases this could means years of unpaid overtime wages, add to that penalties and interest and the money you are owed can add up pretty quickly.<\/p>\n
Your time is valuable, so make sure you are being compensated fairly for working overtime! Keep in mind that your weekly rate is variable according to the second method, so be sure each week you work overtime you are being paid adequately. If you find out your employer is not compensating you fairly for your work, you need to speak with an experienced labor attorney ASAP.<\/p>\n
