Many employees are also legally entitled to overtime pay at one and a half times their regular hourly rate if they work more than forty hours per week. This does not apply to executive, professional, and administrative employees nor to certain other workers, such as baby-sitters. You must be paid at least twice a month on regular paydays, except that executives and supervisors may be paid monthly. If you leave your employment, your employer must pay the wages you are owed by the next payday. If you are on strike, the employer can delay the payment for up to ten more days.
