Extra time (workplace)

Extra time (workplace)

For wage earners, extra time can refer to the hours worked within a pay period up to the point where overtime starts. For example, overtime may be paid at time and a half and may only be due for hours worked in excess of 44 per week. If a regular work week for the wage earner were 35 hours, then hours between 36 and 44 would be considered extra time and thus paid at the regular rate, whereas any hour or fraction thereof in excess of 44 hours would be paid at the higher overtime rate. Usually, both extra time and particularly overtime must be agreed to by the employer before they are worked. In unionised workplaces, especially, seniority as well as job performance can be deciding factors in the distribution of extra time and overtime.
