Q. What if I am a "salaried" employee?
A. The manner in which an employee is paid does not determine their right to overtime pay. Rather, it is an employee’s job duties that determine if they are exempt from the overtime rules. Even if you were told that you would be paid a certain salary regardless of how much you work, you may still be entitled to overtime pay. Your right to overtime pay cannot be bargained away, avoided or refused.
