If you are in a job eligible for overtime, you are entitled to be paid time and a half your regular hourly rate for every hour you work over 40 in a workweek. By law, employees working fewer than 30 hours within a workweek or fewer than 130 hours within a month are considered part-time employees.There is no general maximum number of hours workers can be allowed to work under federal law. An employer with 15 or more employees must provide up to 40 hours of paid sick time per year. Smaller employers must provide up to 24 hours per year. Every hour worked beyond forty hours per week has to be compensated according to overtime rules, but there is no upper limit on the number of hours worked. For example, an employer's normal workday is a.m. Phoenix Employment Relations Board (P. E.R.B.) meetings on City time.
