YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK: Tip #2 (click above)
This is Chris Garlock, with Union City Radio’s Your Rights at Work tip of the day: Most DC workers have the right to overtime when they work more than 40 hours in a workweek. The overtime rate is 1.5 times your regular pay rate, so for example if you are normally paid $10 an hour, you would be paid $15 an hour for every hour you work beyond 40 hours in a given workweek. Some exceptions include certain executive, administrative, or professional workers, parking lot attendants, and independent contractors. If you don’t supervise anyone, work in H.R., or have a professional degree and your employer still isn’t providing overtime, it is worth getting legal advice on whether you’re eligible. Find out more about your rights at work from the Employment Justice Center, at DCEJC.ORG or call 202-828-9675.
