Query:
I'm looking for payroll and HR experts to help me out with a
primer article for Business News Daily about overtime. The
article will provide an overview on overtime pay, what it is,
how it works, how to calculate it.
What I'm looking for from you is answers to the following
questions:
-Is it legal for a job to not pay overtime? -Can an employer
require an employee to work overtime? -How do bonuses and
commissions affect the new overtime rules? -How does overtime
pay for salaried employees affect your business?
Again, this is a level 101 kind of article, so I don't need to
go super into the weeds, though if there's anything about
overtime that a new business owner should know, please feel free
to add any additional information.
Thanks.
