Celler Legal Group Richard Celler Unpaid Overtime Lawyer
Yes. An employer may adjust its employee's work shifts within a work week to avoid an employee working overtime.

Under this scenario, no overtime compensation would be due to the employee. Typically not.

How is overtime calculated if I work at different rates of pay in the same workweek?

Overtime
If you are paid two or more rates by the same employer during the workweek, the regular rate is the "weighted average" which is determined by dividing your total earnings for the workweek, including earnings during overtime hours, by the total hours worked during the workweek, including the overtime hours. For example, if you work 32 hours at $9.00 an hour and 10 hours during the same workweek at $7.00 an hour, the weighted average (and thus the regular rate for that workweek) is $8.52.

FAQ
Good question. First, it is possible that you were exempt from overtime.

Another possibility is that you were entitled to overtime pay, but your employer simply did not pay it.
