The law is clear.  Under both the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Connecticut Wage Act, if you work more than 40 hours a week, you are entitled to time-and-a-half as overtime compensation.  The only exceptions are if you are properly classified as an exempt employee.

​

Employers often try to get around the law.  Among other things, employers may try to avoid the payment of overtime compensation by:

• improperly classifying an employee as “exempt” from the payment of overtime;

• having employees work “off the clock;” 

• "shaving" time from the employee's time card;

• paying employees “straight time” for overtime hours worked; or

• averaging the hours worked over a two week period.
