Overtime ClaimShift Pay or Productivity Bonus
If an employee is paid amounts in addition to an
hourly rate, such as shift pay premiums or productivity bonuses, then the amounts of the
“extra” pay may in some circumstances be added to your hourly rate to determine your true
hourly rate. This means you actually earn a higher hourly rate, which, in turn, means
your overtime pay rate would be higher than your stated hourly wage.
Any employers fail to properly adjust the hourly rate to incorporate the productivity bonus, which means they also fail to increase the applicable overtime pay rate. Sound familiar? You are not alone. If you have (1) received productivity bonuses or shift premiums, and (2) your regular hourly rate has not been adjusted to incorporate the bonus of shift pay premium, and (3) your overtime pay is based upon the non-adjusted, regular hourly rate, then your overtime rights may have been violated.
