Update: By the way, the chair of the department does not have the best English skills because he is Asian and went to school in Germany, so English is probably his third language. Don't tell me not to go to RPI because of the guy's English skills, lol. Update 2: Ohh no, I know the term candidate is common...
Iowa's overtime minimum wage is $10.88 per hour, one and a half times the regular Iowa minimum wage of $7.25. If you earn more then the Iowa minimum wage rate, you are entitled to at least 1.5 times your regular hourly wage for all overtime worked.
For example: an employee who earns a salary of $450 per week and is expected to work a 40-hour week is paid $11.25 per hour. Overtime is paid at 1 Â½ times the regular wage rate. Using this example, the employee would earn $16.87 per hour for overtime.
