good day my name is Maurice Arcadier I’m a partner in the law firm of Alan Arcadia PA located in Central Florida today’s topic is overtime and when an employer has to pay time and a half the employes wages for services performed by the employee overtime was established in 1938 pursuant to the fair
00:26
labor standards act and that provides employees to get paid at a rate of time and a have their hourly rate for each and every hour that they work over 40 in one Work Week nowadays overtime is a Hot Topic and that’s because employers are not paying overtime correctly employers
00:43
are under the assumption that just because they are paying an employee on a salary basis that they don’t have to pay the employee overtime pay and most of the time that’s wrong anytime an employee is providing manual labor for the employer even if the employee is getting paid on a salary basis that
00:60
employee is still entitled to get paid at a rate of time and a half his hourly rate calculated over a 40h hour work week and the law is a bit vague in that area because it uses such terminology as whether the employee is using discretion during his job duties and that’s why we

have a lot of litigation concerning overtime at this time
