If I'm reading the OT policy correctly, as I re-read it, the eight hours of paid holiday time on Monday do not count as part of calculating hours worked for Overtime purposes. So, I only worked 38.5 hours instead of 46.5

Now, if my hours worked do not go over 40, they are not obligated to pay me for any overtime or time worked, if I read this right.

Ain't that a bitch?

I've been hit with that one too in the past - yep, in most companies overtime is time worked over 40 hours in a week. Guess it's to stop people taking vacation days and then trying to get time and a half for the days they did work or something?

However, they should be paying you regular hourly wages for the hours you actually worked up to working an actual 40 hours, even if that brings the weekly total, including the 8 hours of holiday, over 40.

Yeah, I think I just got that, so at least I'll bet that I'll see at least a bit of extra cash, so I don't think that's a bad thing at all. :D

Still, getting time and a half wouldn't have sucked, and most weeks, that's exactly what would have happened.

Ah, well. C'est la vie.

That's pretty much standard corperate policy for OT expenses.

Nice.

Oh, well.

actually, it's not how my company works at all.

Even with the holiday on monday, i've still clocked an hour of overtime this week that I'll get time and a half for.

But you also work for part of the federal government, don't you? I'm told they tend to have very different rules about this kind of thing.

I am not a Federal Employee.

I work for the Federal Researve Bank, yes. But it is a private organization because it needs to be separate from the government.

Fair enough. Sorry I got it mixed up.
