If you’re like most people, you look forward to payday. You know how much you’ll receive and you probably even know how your check will be spent. So it’s important that you are fully compensated for your work. However, you may be losing money if your employer is not properly following overtime pay laws.<\/p>\r\n

Typically, when an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek, they are entitled to overtime pay of 1.5 times their normal rate. There are several exceptions and exemptions to who receives overtime pay<\/a> (and when), but it’s worth extra money in your paycheck to be familiar with the basics of Indiana overtime laws.<\/p>\r\n
