Addendum to my previous question about holiday pay and OT.?

I don't care if you're in a "selfless" career or not - overtime is overtime and should be paid without making the employee feel bad about it!  I would rather know that the nurse who is taking care of me after a 10 hour shift is being paid overtime for it than having a disgruntled nurse who is not being paid.  I'm pretty sure it is illegal to not be paid overtime even for nurses.  They should pay you or hire more staff to get the work done!

I was just rehired as a seasonal employee in Colorado.  I start at $7.25 an hour.  When I previously worked there, you receive upto a $0.50 raise every six months.

I am under paid. I get $11/hour and should be getting much more for all the extra I do at my office. I am not worried about it, I know they are happy with my work and I have a review coming up soon.

Yes, it is even better than you think. After 8 hours it is OT, after 12 is DT and it does not stop if hte next shift time kicks in while working, because there is a mandated 8 hour break between workdays after 24 hours of owrk, s o they VIOLATED the labor law, unless you have an agreement in place.\n\nQUOTE\n If an employee works unauthorized overtime is the employer obligated to pay for it?\n\n  A. Yes, California law requires that employers 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, and double the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.\nhttp://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Overtime.htm\n\nQUOTE\n(d) No employee shall work more than 24 consecutive hours until said employee receives not less than eight (8) consecutive hours off-duty immediately following the 24 consecutive hours of work. Time spent sleeping shall not be included as hours worked. \nhttp://www.dir.ca.gov/t8/11050.html\n\nYou need to go here and choose your type of work from this section.

Working in resturants, no way! If u are scheduled normally for that day, u won;t be paid. But I have never heard of a resturant\npaying u for time and a half. Sounds like a dream job!\nI have worked 30 years on and off and usually it's madatory to\nworl holidays, if they paided u it was because they wanted too!

If you are an hourly employee, yes they are required to pay you.  If they aren't, go up the chain of command and document it very well.  If you still don't have any results, then contact the Department of Labor.  This is considered "working off the clock" and is highly illegal.

Labor laws are different from state to state, so really, depending on which state you live in, you may be entitled to overtime pay.  Percentage ranges from 1.5 to 2 times, but could be none if not specified.  If you live in California, you're in luck.  I'm pretty sure that hourly or salaried, you get 2 times pay for the time worked.\n\nGood luck getting whatever you deserve.

Im not sure that it is prescribed in law but if it is then the norm of 20 seems a fair bet.  Of course some jobs such as teaching offer much greater holidays. I think I get about 13 weeks.

It ALL depends on their policy.  You should have received a copy of the policies and procedures manual when you first started.  Some PTO is accrued and payable, some is not.  AND, I would not recommend taking your days off and then quitting, employers frown on that and you might burn a bridge or the chance of a good referral when you need it!!

Depending on when they started, you would pay out their vacation pay at the end of the year to bring them to the Jan. 1st date. So, if someone was hired in September, pay them what is owing from Sept. to Dec. Then they are on the calendar with the rest of the employees. I just converted to this system myself and had to pay out the vacation owed.

Actually nothing. The budget is set for salaries for the year and it includes days off.

Unless you're salary, anything after 40 hours per week is considered overtime.  There are no set laws about working without a day off.

Whoever told you that you do not accrue vacation pay at the end of the fiscal year was lying to you.  This is supposed to be done, as well as an accrual for sick time.  This usually appears as compensated absences on the financial statement.  Some companies include the accrued amount for the above on the accrued wages payable line of the balance sheet.\n\nAlso the amount you accrue depends upon their personnel policy regarding vacation and sick pay.

Normally people get paid on the normal pay date - doing other wise causes all kinds of administrative headaches. So I would wait until the normal payroll run and put them on then.\n\nAlso, you need to issue a P45.

you have a valid claim, if your asked to go above and beyond your hired duties you should be rewarded (especially if your in a lower position, making less)\nMy suggestion to you is to list all your hired duties as well as another list with your added duties as this person has been out.\nSit with your manager/supervisor and state your case. As an owner of  a business myself i have over looked the work of employees who took on more than they were hired for. When my now assistant showed me what we hired her for and what she has been doing I was then able ot see her value and I gave her a raise. She continued to go above and beyond her call of duty and she is now my assistant making a good salary and has the potential to own shares of my company as in another 3 months i will offer her that opportunity. \nYou may not be compensated right away but make your boss aware of your extra duties and continue to do them as it only betters you as a person

Talk to your boss about it first, maybe it was just a mistake, but as the employer they have to pay you when you should be paid or at least give you an advance, as far as I know anyways, talk to your local labor board about it or check online for the laws if anything.

Dear _______\n\nI have enjoyed working for you the past 4 years.  I have gained much knowledge and experience.  In that time I have been a loyal employee and have a good record of employment with you.\n\nMy current rate of pay is $_________ per _____.  I have not had a raise since _______.  During that time, my expenses for gas, and mileage have continued to increase, so it costs me more to do the same work for you as before.\n\nI am asking for a cost of living wage increase.  I think $_______ is reasonable.  That is only a ______% increase from what I am making now.  It is in line with what other companies are paying to someone working with my experience.\n\nThank you in advance for responding quickly to my request.\n\nI am available to discuss this in your office at your earliest convenience.\n\nSincerely,\n\nYour Faithful Employee
