I work for Postal Service contractor driving an 18 wheel truck. I don't receive overtime pay, yet my regularly scheduled hours are a min. of 50 hrs per week. I am paid based on the hours I've record on a timesheet, but does this some how work out to be a form of "Salaried Pay"?
Because my employer has negotiated a contract with the USPS, does this not entitle me to OT?
Also, I am paid a base rate, and then there are health and welfare, and vaction pay added in to that. I get paid well, but I work alot, and after 80 hours I lose the H&W and Vacation pay, plus there is no OT after 40/80 hrs.
The company where my wife works, recently had to pay some of their employees back pay because they had worked max hrs+ and so it made me wonder.
Thanks in advance,
Drew
