How is Overtime Pay Calculated?

I have been teaching HR at a local university for over 18 years and whenever I discuss overtime pay calculation, my students, who are HR professionals, are surprised.
You see, the Department of Labor determines how overtime is calculated and what needs to be included in the calculation. There are items you may not be aware of and I just want to point that fact out to ensure you are compliant in your overtime pay practices.
If you would like to learn more about this and other HR matters, reach out to a Human Resource Professional.
