Is there any limit to the number of hours of overtime a non-exempt employee is permitted to work?
Is there a threshold where the compensation goes from time and a half to double time?

    Regardless of hours of OT an employee work, it must be compensated at the rate of time and one-half. In my agency, the supervisor must approve all OT before worked. If an OT is not approved but worked, it will be paid at the rate of time and one-half. However, disciplinary action will follow for failure to follow agency set policy.

    Some states have additional limits on hours worked (I know California has some tough state overtime laws). These may include a requirement for specific rest periods, or double time after a certain amount of hours. (Texas has no additional limits).

    Under the federal law, you can't work anyone more than 24 hours a day (even though employers have been known to try).

    Good Luck!
