The company I work for recently switched to daily overtime, where when I hit over 8 hours in a day, I get paid time and a half. However I reached out to my company's HR and payroll about 3 times to see if they can clarify what the new rules mean. I worked a week where Monday through Thursday I worked 10 hours a day, and then Friday/Saturday for 6 hours each. I checked my paycheck and it didn't seem like the right amount of money. Looking at the companys time clock it looks like Friday and Saturday I was paid my regular rate instead of the overtime rate despite already being over 40 hours in the week.
I was trying to do some research on what the laws in my state are regarding overtime and it looks like they refer to Federal Laws regarding overtime instead, as there aren't specific overtime rules for the state. But, I'm not seeing any clear answer on whether or not I'm correct in thinking I should be paid that overtime after any 40 hours. I'm thinking of contacting the labor department in my state, but I don't know if I'm right in my line of thinking. Would they have a clearer answer for me?
EDIT: Always check your paystubs
