    Default Paid overtime

    What's the general pay rate for hours over 40? Regular time, Time and a half or Double time? Or do most take Time in lieu? Legally employers only have to pay regular but wondered if more pay was typical.

    This is all assumed for an hourly position, not salaried.

    This from the Dept. of Labour website.

    Special rates for doing certain tasks or extra hours are commonly known as penal rates. Penal rates are negotiated between your and your employer. They may be included as part of your employment agreement or negotiated as a one-off as and when required. Check your employment agreement to see if you’re entitled to any penal rates for working extra hours.
