8 Overtime

Use overtime rules to require employees to work a certain number of hours and a certain number of consecutive days within a week before they are eligible for overtime pay. For example, a store that operates Monday through Sunday requires employees to work 40 hours per week and at least three consecutive days. In this case:

  • An employee who works 15 hours across Monday and Tuesday and then 30 hours across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is eligible for overtime.

  • An employee who works 18 hours across Monday and Tuesday, 18 hours across Thursday and Friday, and then 10 hours on Sunday is not eligible for overtime because the employee did not work three consecutive days.
