conversation: User (ruselette): "here's the dealio. I was scheduled to work a Thursday through Tuesday. A nice 6-day stretch. On day 5 I completed 50 hours. On day 6 I reached 60 hours. However, Thursday and Friday are counted as separate pay periods because the new pay period or pay week begins on Sundays. So on one check I get Friday and Saturday. On the next check I get Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. \n\nI think this is legal but it still really irks me. They squeezed 50 hours out of me in 5 days and a total of 60 hours in 6 days and yet I don't get any overtime because of the pay period beginning on Sundays. What's the dealio? Is there nothing I can do? Am I entitled to OT or do I have just have to suck it up? I'm in Connecticut btw. "
  Self: "Yup if you don't get your 1 1/2 times pay for every hour past 40 then they broke the law. Unless you signed a contract forfeiting it or are salary I believe."
  Self: "Also I think weekends are auto overtime pay for your state."
  Arrch (Arrch): "What the hell? I'd love to see a source one that one."
  Self: "I quickly ran through OP's state laws. I'm open to be fully wrong, it's why I was guessing more than fact stating."
  Arrch (Arrch): "So did I. It was like two sentences that basically say the same thing as federal law. Zero mention of weekends."
