The Veteran’s Today website reminds that if you are an hourly employee, your work at home is required to be compensated. What it does not say is that even salary employees may, depending on corporate policy, be eligible for some form of “Flex” or “Comp Time”.
Managers and Supervisors who are on a “salary” and not an “hourly wage” are exempt from overtime compensation no matter how many hours they work a week….Sorry Guys….!!!!
However Managers and Supervisors on “hourly wage” must be paid overtime compensation at 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in any 7 day work week. Even if they receive bonuses, commissions or overrides on top of their “hourly wage”, the Labor Department advised me that they still must be paid “overtime compensation” for all hours worked over 40.
Additionally, any employee including Managers and Supervisors who are on an “hourly wage” who is either requested, required or expected to WORK AT HOME by their employer must be paid for that time at their “regular rate of pay” as well as “overtime compensation when applicable….Furthermore, your time at home counts as hours worked during any 7 day work week….ONLY “SALARIED” MANAGERS OR SUPERVISORS ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS RULE….
