<prompt> Human: I recently got a promotion. My boss gave me a pay rate of 18.22 an hour. I would work 45-50 hour weeks. Any hours over 4 hours would be considered as overtime. When I checked the website to view my pay, he gave me a salary of 45,000. Should I talk to him and get it changed to the hourly wage? Or leave it?  <response>: Being paid salary does not mean you wont get overtime pay. Payroll departments classify employees as Salaried, Exempt from OT pay or Salaried, Non-Exempt eligible for OT pay. The decision to exempt you from receiving OT pay is closely regulated by the government. What is your job? That decides of youre even eligible to not receive OT. Did they say you wouldnt need to report your overtime? Your annual salary doesnt match up to your hourly rate, though. I cant see how they calculated that annual rate unless there is a raise involved.
