Does a hospital have to pay a physician overtime wages for more than 40 hours?

Yes, a hospital may have to pay a physician overtime wages for more than 40 hours worked in a single work week. According to FLSA standards, employees who earn more than $100,000 per year are generally ineligible to sue.  Even low paid physicians are usually subject to the FLSA’s “professional exemption” which covers anyone who performs work “requiring advanced knowledge, defined as work which is predominately intellectual in character and which includes work requiring the consistent exercise of judgment or discretion.”

However, these pay benefits are dependent on the individuals actual job duties, not the job title – physician. This is why it is important to talk with one of our experienced overtime pay attorneys.
