So many regular and seasonal workers get both overtime and commission or bonus pay during the holidays. Are you one of them? Did you know you could be owed overtime pay ON your COMMISSION?!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, your overtime pay may not be based on just your base hourly pay; in some cases the commission and bonuses you receive are supposed to be added in before determining your overtime rate. That means your time and a half or double time may be even higher than you think.<\/p>\n
Want a bigger paycheck, check this out:<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you get paid $10 per hour and you are working two hours of overtime each day during the holiday season. At time and a half you\u2019d expect to get $15 dollars an hour for those two hours right?<\/p>\n
BUT, let\u2019s say you made $400 commission in that two week pay period. If you worked 10 hours a day, five days a week, that\u2019s 50 hours a week or 100 hours for the two week pay period.<\/p>\n
Now divide the $400 commission over the 100 hours; that comes out to an extra $4 an hour. Now your overtime hours are worth $21, and double time is worth $28 an hour. That\u2019s an extra $120 per pay period. I\u2019m sure you\u2019d like that extra cash right now, or any day for that matter.<\/p>\n
Many companies, big and small, fail to calculate their employees’ overtime correctly. Claiming ignorance is no excuse. It is your payroll department\u2019s job to pay you properly. Unfortunately, unless the employees suspect something is wrong and raise the question, it will just continue.<\/p>\n
