    Default Denied Overtime Pay Despite Working More Than 40 Hours

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Texas.

    I am a seasonal employee for one of the big box retailers. I worked Monday through Saturday everyday for a total of nearly a full 48 hours Thanksgiving week.

    The company has a strict zero tolerance for unauthorized overtime in every week during the year except Thanksgiving week when you given a "free" extra shift if you work Thanksgiving day.

    When I received my pay stub I got more than time and half for the hours worked on Thanksgiving day and it was posted as premium pay but was only paid .25 hrs of overtime. I asked the HR Admin if she could look at my stub because I thought it was wrong. When I came she told me I was paid correctly. And that the big box retailer was so big it had to be right.

    Here's my understanding. The overtime rules for non-exempt employees is absolute-- all worked hours in a given work over 40 must be paid at least time and a half.

    The sense of things is the company has conflated the situation where you may have received 6 days of straight pay in a holiday week having only worked forty hours.
