| Aug 14, 2020 at 5:36 | comment | added | Infinitus | @TomTom Apologies, I could've phrased that better - I currently am approved to work up to 40 hours, but normally only accumulate in the 15-20hr range regularly. My confusion being, after my employer confirmed I can get paid for weekend work, I was initially under the impression if I would be supposed to charge those hours onto Monday, but then it would surpass the 8 hour "regular" range? I am not trying to charge "overtime" over the 40 hrs as a higher hourly rate per se, but rather entering weekend hours. Thanks for the clarifications. | |
| Aug 14, 2020 at 5:36 | comment | added | Infinitus | @joeqwerty Thanks for the details. I'm currently under a W2 contract; I could've phrased my question better, sorry. I'm not seeking to work above the 40-hour mark, but rather figure out charge weekend hours, that I have been approved to do, on a timesheet with only M-F. | |

If you're exempt, then you may not be entitled to overtime rates.(I work in California, as an exempt employee who is guaranteed 40 hr/week but is still paid hourly. Hours over 40 are paid at my normal rate) | |

| Aug 12, 2020 at 12:37 | comment | added | joeqwerty | @TomTom makes a good point. If I work after hours because I choose to or because I've taken on too much work then I bill my clients at my regular hourly rate. If I work after hours because the client requested it, scheduled it, or they've called me for something after hours then I bill them at my after hours hourly rate. | |

If I run a business and a contractor decides to work outside business hours because "due to university commitments" - it is not MY job to pay him more. Your hourly rate at a higher rate may simply not be competitive. Overtime is meant for scenarios YOU work more than full time, not for scenarios you decide to work in the night due to over commitments. | |

| Aug 12, 2020 at 3:23 | comment | added | joeqwerty | Are you W-2 or 1099? If you're 1099 then you have no legal right to overtime pay and as such, there's no such thing as overtime. As a 1099 contractor I always stipulate what my hourly rates are for business hours work and for after hours work. I bill at a higher hourly rate for work that falls outside of 8-5/M-F. | |
