<prompt> Human: I work 12 hour shifts, which alternate from 3 day weeks and 4 day weeks, so one week I work 36 hours, the next 48 hours, then back to 36 and so on. I have just received my first check for a 48 hour week via direct deposit, and it appears that I have been paid for 48 standard hours, with no overtime rate for the last 8 hours. I was under the impression that any hours over 40 in the work week was counted as overtime. Am I right? If so, is there something I can do about it?Edit: This is in Texas.  <response>: Depends on whether or not youre exempt or non-exempt, and any other mitigating factors. Do you work on Sundays and if so, is there a special rate for that day? Like time and a half.My guess without more information is that no, they dont owe you overtime, because if this is a standard scheduled thing, it seems unlikely theyd voluntarily be giving employees 8 hours of OT pay every other week, but I could be wrong. Need more info.
