I just started a new job and was told that I would be hourly with no Holiday pay. My Schedule is Mon - Thurs 12:30 - 9 and Saturday 9:30 - 6. (On my second week I worked Mon - Sat. We get paid every 2 weeks. In the first pay period I worked about 88.75 hours. When I received my first paycheck I was paid for 88 hours straight pay with no overtime. I worked through my lunch for every day except 1. I am only aloud to leave for lunch if there is someone there to cover me and that is rarely the case. My question is should I have gotten time and a half for the extra hours that I put in and for the lunches that I am unable to take. I put over 40 hours in each week. I want to know how I should approach my boss and know what I am talking about before I do. This is not a salary job and I will not be getting paid on Labor day so In my eyes I believe that Hourly means just that and that I should get paid overtime. Please let me know your opinion on this matter as I do not want to start my job out as a doormat. Thank you.

Inside sales? How much of each in an average workweek? Do you get commissions?

What type of "administrative" work?
