If an employer compels you to go to the doctor during paid work hours, it is paid time. If hours exceed 40 in a workweek, non-exempt employees get overtime.
Only if the travel is ordered by the employer during working hours AND the extra travel time puts the employee over 40 hours for the workweek. Travel during non-work hours is unpaid.
The fluctuating workweek is a method of calculating overtime when the number of hours you work fluctuates week-to-week. Does your work schedule vary from week to week? If so, your employer may be paying you on a “fluctuating workweek” basis. Your Ohio Unpaid Overtime attorneys explain everything you need to know to ensure you are being paid overtime at the correct rate. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers generally must pay their hourly-paid employees overtime, at a rate of one-and-one-half times the employee’s regular hourly rate, for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Many employees are paid by the hour, so an overtime calculation is simple – the employee’s hourly rate is multiplied by one-and-one-half to calculation the overtime rate. However, some employees are paid on different bases, such as salary, commission, or piece-rate, and work a varying number of hours each week. Under the fluctuating workweek method,[1] a non-exempt employee will receive a set weekly salary regardless of how many hours he or she works, plus an additional amount as overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 per workweek. For all overtime hours, the employee receives an additional “half time” hourly rate. For example, if an employee receives a weekly salary of $800 per week, they will receive this amount regardless of whether they work 20 hours or 40 hours per week. If, however, the employee works 50 hours per week, they will receive their $800 weekly salary plus overtime pay for 10 hours of overtime. The employee’s regular rate of pay in this example is $16 per hour ($800 weekly salary divided by 50 hours worked). Thus, in addition to their $800 per week salary, the employee receives an additional $80 as overtime pay (half-time rate of $8.00 per hour x 10 overtime hours).

Example: Employee works a total of 55 hours during the week. The employee had 40 hours of "Regular Time" (sometimes called "straight-time") and 15 hours of "Overtime."
Employers must pay for all hours worked. If work hours exceed 40 in a workweek, the extra hours are time and a half.
Yes, employees may work overtime, whether authorized or unauthorized. However, employers can discipline an employee if he or she violates the employer's policy of working overtime without the required authorization. In California however, an employee should be compensated for any hours he or she is "suffered or permitted to work, whether or not required to do so." Thus, employers must pay overtime, whether authorized or not, at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight up to an including 12 hours in any workday, and for the first eight hours of work on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.
If an employee works more than regularly scheduled, whether the employer approves or not, the worker is paid for all hours worked. If an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek, he/she gets overtime pay for the excess hours. Employees who violate assigned work schedules get disciplined.
Straight time pay refers to the standard rate of pay for regular hours worked, typically without any overtime or premium pay included. It is usually the base pay rate agreed upon between the employer and employee for a standard workweek.
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.
Paid OvertimeBasically, work more hours than your standard daily working hours, you get over time (over time will be e.g if your on £7 an hour the over time rate will be an extra £3.50 ontop of that) and if you work longer than your week contracted hours of 37.5 or 40 hours, you get over time as above.in my opinion, over time doesnt make an impact on your wage unless your doing atleast 10 hours of over time each week
It depends on the company's policy and the employment contract. In some cases, overtime may be mandatory based on business needs or industry regulations. Employees should refer to their company's policies to understand their obligations regarding overtime work.
No. Overtime is only given if you work more than 40 hours in a given workweek.
