Just received my first rph paycheck ever last Thursday. So it turned out overtime rate here in Kansas is 1.5x instead of 1.1X. Pretty sweet!
Wags floaters are hourly.I didn’t know you could get paid overtime. Are you not salary?
What job that pays hourly does not pay at least 1.5x for overtime? I've never even heard of 1.1x and it seems against the law anyways (unless you are exempt obvoiusly).
"Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay."

Overtime Pay
www.dol.gov
My market does hourly plus 5$ for OT. Barely 1.09 times hourly. Not worth it.
California law is 1.5x for pretty much every hourly worker (pharmacists included) after 8hrs (unless you are 4 x 10hrs). It becomes 2x at the 12 hour mark.
I’ve never seen 1.1x though, but I more commonly see pharmacists classed as salaried workers instead outside of CA.
I think the 1.1x is just someone doing the math. More likely it is premium pay of base + 5 dollars or whatever.
I’ve been scheduled for 45 hours each week and sometimes I’m even on the schedule for 49 hrs. On top of that, yesterday the store manager asked me to stay one hour late after we closed to get ready for the inventory and I had to come in 2 hrs before my scheduled time to watch them do inventories. Is it because I’m cheap that I’m getting a ton of hours? Not that I have a problem with it, but would it save them money to just offer me a salaried position?
That's so cool. Except I would die if I was 5 x8s on evening shift
