Telemarketers are entitled to overtime pay for time spent beyond 40 hours per week. Many companies require that telesales employees begin work early to boot up a computer or load dialing software before the “official work day” actual begins but do not pay for that extra time. Although this may just seem like an extra fifteen minutes or so a day, it adds up over weeks, months, and years. The same thing is true for extra time spent when the shift officially ends.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division, covered nonexempt employees are entitled to be paid at least the federal minimum wage as well as overtime at time and one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
