Asked on Oct 08th, 2014 on Employment Contracts - Florida
More details to this question:
The company is a retail establishment. I'm paid a salary of $24,000 per year and receive commissions. I am required to work at least 40 hours per week and in the past have worked 65+ hours on a regular basis. Should I have been getting overtime? I often go week to week with no commissions. Others in the company have the same situation but only receive a salary of $18,000.

As a general rule, salaried employees are not entitled to overtime. For example, I get paid the same whether I work 30 hours or 60 hours in a given week.
