My employer doesn't pay overtime until I reach 68 Hours a week. How is this possible? Is it legal? Every other place I have worked I gotten overtime after 40 hours a week or 8 hours a day depending on the employer. I have always been payed hourly and that includes my current job. If this is legal how can they get away with it? Please can some clearify this for me!

Under both Federal and Michigan law, if you are a non-exempt employee as defined by the FLSA, overtime must be paid if you work over 40 hours in a week. (There is no requirement under either Federal or Michigan law that you be paid overtime for working over 8 hours in a day.)

Assuming that you are non-exempt (if you are exempt they don't have to pay you overtime at all), file a complaint with the state DOL.
