Under the NCWHA you are entitled to at least $7.25 per hour of work up to 40 hours of work per workweek. Once you exceed 40 hours in a workweek, you are entitled to 1.5 times your regular par for each hour worked over 40 hours. There is an exception for amusement and recreation businesses that are open seasonally. Those employees don’t receive the same overtime pay until they have exceeded 45 hours in a workweek.
