How are overtime hours calculated?

They way to calculate over time is by adding all of the hours that you work as an employee for an employer during that week period. In other words, you don’t count how many hours you work in a two-week period, you don’t count how many hours you work in a month, you count how many hours you work in a week. And if you work more than 40 hours during that specific week, then you may be entitled to overtime wages.
