All non-exempt employees who work over 40 hours during a work week must be paid at a rate of one and one-half times (typically referred to as time and a half) the employee's regular hourly rate.
Non-exempt employees can paid on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly basis, however overtime is always calculated based on a Monday through Friday work week. So, regardless of your pay cycle your overtime pay will be based on a 40 hour, Monday - Friday work week.
Some employees, known as exempt employeers are not entitled to overtime pay.
