Forty Hours in Which Seven Days?

AWRA Blog

Answer Summary

American overtime is owed above forty hours in a workweek — a fixed seven-day period the employer designates, which need not start on Monday and need not match the pay period. Our records have no workweek in them at all, and the boundary they do enforce, by locking it, is the calendar month.
