How many of you work late into the night? Do you get compensated for the extra hours? These are some of the employment issues that arise in various organizations. However, today you can get legal representation from experienced employment attorneys such as UELG. But first, it is important to understand what exemption from the overtime laws mean.

  1. Overtime<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Overtime is the extra working hours beyond the normal working hours. The normal working hours depend on various factors, for instance:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Agreement between the employer and the employee on the working hours<\/li>\n
    • The profession or trade e.g. Doctors, Engineers, Nurses, Drivers, Teachers, Lawyers, among others.<\/li>\n
    • Legislation; the labor or employment laws<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      1. Labor laws<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Labor laws are present in every state or country. It is essential as it helps prevent disputes among workers and employers. An employer may decide to force his or her employees to work extra hours without compensating them. Alternatively, the law considers other factors such as health of the employees.

        With all that said, the concept of overtime can now be explained. First, if you work for longer hours, your employer should pay you. However, not all employees get compensated. When you get paid for the extra time, you are Non-exempt employee otherwise you are exempt employee. In other words, you are exempted from overtime pay.
