WHAT IF I'M PAID A SALARY?

If your salary is less than $23,660 per year (or $455 per week) you are automatically entitled to overtime regardless of your title or duties

Your primary job duties (not your title) determines if you are entitled to overtime:
  • Even if you are paid a salary of more than $23,660 per year, but your primary duty is not an ‘exempt’ position, you are entitled to overtime.  

Example: 

  • Sally is a receptionist.  She earns $30,000 per year.  She works 50 hours per week. Sally must receive overtime pay for every hour over 40 per week.
