1. Does Texas have the 8- 80 law as California does? Texas requires that non-exempt employees earn overtime for all hours worked over 40 in a week, with a few exceptions for those on a two week / 80 hour basis (primarily in the healthcare industry). It does not follow the same overtime rules as CA.

2. When does overtime begin if the work week has a paid holiday in it? Overtime is paid on worked hours only.

3. If I worked 55 hours in one week, yet it had an 8 hour paid hoilday included how many of those hours are over time? Only 7 hours

4. Shouldn't I be paid for 15 hours of overtime? No, as overtime is paid on hours worked only.

5. I was only paid 6.36 hours of overtime because they said the 40 hours had to be WORKED hours not to include paid holiday hours? Yes, that is true. However, you must have worked less than 55 to get the 6.36 hours.
