The Ag dealership I work at has always stated that they do not have to pay overtime due to the fact that they are agriculture related business. I frequently work over 40 hours a week and never have received overtime. Most of the equipment I work on is under 40 horsepower outdoor power equipment. Can anyone tell me more about this or were to look for more information.

You are a equipment maintenance worker?

I repair customer’s equipment that comes into the shop for repair. Mainly outdoor power equipment but also farm equipment.

You are not doing agricultural work. You are a mechanic. I would suggest contacting your state Dept. of Labor. It is very likely the employer is in violation of overtime laws for your position and you could file a claim for unpaid overtime wages.
