General rule: Employees who work more than 40 hours per week must be paid one and a half (1 ½) times their “regular rate of pay” for each hour worked over 40 in a workweek.

Payment must be in cash, not time off or “comp time.”

Exceptions: employees who are generally not entitled to overtime include:

Job titles do not determine exempt status: Just because your boss calls you a ‘manager’ or 'independant contractor' does not mean you aren’t eligible for overtime

All employees earning less than $455 per week or $23,660 per year are automatically entitled to receive overtime pay even if they are salaried employees.
