Work-Off-the-Clock

• if your employer makes you clock out and finish your work
• if you have a morning meeting before work 
• if your employer requires you to work on the weekends without clocking in

All of this time you spend working should be paid be counted as hours worked for purposes of overtime pay whether or not your employer wants you to be “clocked in.” 

Weekend and Night Work

Many employers voluntarily pay premium for work at night and on weekends.  However, extra pay for working weekends or nights is a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee's representative). The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require extra pay just because it may be weekend or night work.

Hospital and Residential Care Facility Employees

Employees of hospitals and residential care facilities, except those which fall under other exemptions, are due overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in any given week.  However, hospital or residential care establishments may with agreement or understanding with employees adopt a fixed work period of 14 consecutive days and pay overtime after 8 hours in a day or 80 in the work period, whichever is greater.
