Re: how does overtime works ?
call and ask the payroll people directly, not the human resources people.
OT is usually more than 40hrs in a week.
But, sometimes they don't count 'training' hours as being towards OT. That's been my experience.
In the US, Federal Law requires that OT is paid to 'non-management' and other types of employees - but this is key, the gov't determined a long time ago that RNs are considered 'management' and are exempt from Federal OT laws (employers are not required by law to pay RNs overtime wages).
That being said, almost every employer DOES pays time and a half for 'on-the-clock' RN employees, and, if that IS their policy (and it IS), they need to explain your check to you, and/or fix it.
