Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Not getting paid 1.5x
Federal law (FLSA) requires 1.5x for hours over 40/week for non-exempt employees. If not receiving this, consult the Department of Labor.
❌ Assuming salaried employees get OT
Salaried workers earning over $684/week are generally exempt from OT. Below that threshold, salaried workers may still qualify.
