Key to receiving overtime payments is that you are not an exempt employee. Exempt employees do not receive overtime. Exempt employees are paid a salary to do the work and however many hours are required, those hours are covered by the salary. A good example of exempt employees are tacticians that fix computers or programmers that fix failed programs. You can speak with the New Jersey Department of labor to determine if you are an exempt employee and to determine if you are entitled to overtime. If you become frustrated by the process, please call and we can help. Ed Dimon
