Schedule Monday-Saturday Start time: Between 12am-5am Compensation $270.00/dayOvertime Half Rate Description:Drivers who work in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week will be paid overtime, calculated as follows:The driver's total compensation for the week (under the daily rate or otherwise) shall be divided by the driver's total hours for the week to determine the driver's regular rate for that week. Then, the driver will receive one half of their regular rate as thus determined multiplied by the number of hours in excess of forty that the driver worked in that week. Thus, for example, if a driver has a daily rate of $220 and works 45 hours in a work week over the course of five days, then the driver's total compensation will be ($220)(5) = $1,100. Dividing that total compensation by hours results in ($1,100) / (45 hrs.) = $24.44/hr. One half of $24.44 is $12.22.
