A former waitress at our restaurant is claiming overtime (1.5 pay) for hours worked over 8 hours in a single day. Our waitress schedules tend to be very bursty and filling in/exchanging shifts for each other is common practice. However, it is very rare any waitress will work hours totaling more than 40 hours/week. Quite the opposite, the hours per week tend to average around 30hrs/week. Does the law require us to still pay her overtime (1.5 pay) for those days totalling more than 8 hours?
Thanks in advance.
