You've worked here how long, yet you still don't know how you get paid? You seem to have an answer for everything, but after how many years working here, you are worried about how you get paid???
You also left out half a paragraph from your quote about the overtime...
"All hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours in any one (1) day or
forty (40) hours in any one (1) week shall be paid at the rate of time
and one-half (1 ½) the regular hourly rate, but not both. Overtime
shall not be pyramided. Pay for hours not worked shall not count
toward the forty (40) hour threshold."
Now, get your pencil out and follow along....
1) You work 9 hours Monday 8 hours regular, 1 OT
2) 8 hours tues 16 hours regular, 1 OT
3) 8 hours wed 24 hours regular, 1 OT
4) 7 hours thurs 31 hours regular, 1 OT
We are now at 32 hours total for the week.
5) You work 9 hours Friday. 40 hours regular, 2 OT
When it says you cannot pyramid your hours, those hours already paid as OT because of over 8 in a day, do not add into your 40 for the week. Once you hit 40 non OT hours, then the rest is OT.
Let's say you put in 12 hours on Friday instead. Your OT is no longer calculated as being over 8 in a day, but as over 40 non OT hours in the week. So you would get 40 hours regular, and 4 OT.
It's really that simple....
