I work for a small company (less than 30 people) in Michigan. This job has the strangest way of paying out overtime. Time and a half doesn’t start till you work 42.5 hours during the work week. My employer considers the 2, 15 min paid break (30min total) each day not to count towards hours worked thus will not pay time and a half till that has been reached. Im 40 years old and have worked a handful of jobs in my time, but I have never had a employer handle overtime pay this way. I’ve tried searching labor laws to see if this is legal, but I’m having no luck. My thinking is, if jobs could do this ALL jobs would be doing that to save $.
