How do we interpret the hours-per-week rule when it comes to overtime law?

03/18/2013

Q: I'm looking for a reference that states what the laws in West Virginia say for the accounting of overtime. I have two interpretations of how to calculate overtime. #1: So long as an hourly employee doesn't exceed 40 hours in a single week they do not get overtime. #2: An employee who works longer than 8 hours in one day gets overtime regardless of the total number of hours worked that week. – Pam, West Virginia
