Q. Other than my "base" pay, should any other payments I receive (eg. Bonuses) be taken into account when calculating my overtime rate?
A. In most cases – Yes. Unless your bonus is completely discretionary on the part of your employer, it must be included in determining your "regular rate" of pay. If your bonus is tied to achieving certain preset goals, quotas or other requirements, it is not considered to be discretionary.
It all starts with a free and confidential case review. A personal case manager will quickly identify if you have a valid claim. If they determine it’s valid, you can rest easy knowing that you won’t pay us a dime unless we recover compensation for you.
