This is subject to laws in which the employee works. Federally, there is no law requiring an employer to pay overtime for work of more than 8 hours a day. Under California state law, an hourly (non-exempt) employee is entitled to time and a half if they work more than 8 hours in a day, and double time for hours worked in excess of 12.

As a salaried employee, is there a limit to how many overtime hours can be worked in a week without overtime compensation Some of us make over $455 a week, others don't. Thank you for your time. This will squash a discussion that has become quite heated.?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that non-exempt employees be paid overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. However, exempt employees who earn a salary of over $455 per week and meet certain job duties may not be entitled to overtime pay. It is important to consult your employment contract or the FLSA regulations to determine if you fall under the exempt or non-exempt category.
