(1) The normal workweek for one hundred per cent full-time equivalency salaried and hourly staff is forty hours. For non-exempt employees, the normal work week consists of forty hours.In Ohio, employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek must receive overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular rate of pay. Under the Act, eligible employees may take up to ten days or 80 hours (whichever is less) of unpaid leave once per calendar year. Under Ohio laws, employers are required to pay their employees for all hours worked even if they were volunteering. Nonexempt workers must be paid overtime pay at a rate of not less than one and one-half times their regular rates of pay after 40 hours of work in a workweek. So, can a company choose what they consider part and full-time? Or is there a law or anything that considers 40 hours a full-time job? Those who have the same or substantially similar interests concerning wages, hours, and working conditions are grouped together in a bargaining unit. A collective bargaining agreement usually sets out your rights as a union employee.
