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.
Where Federal and state law have different minimum wage rates, the higher standard applies. The current overtime pay in Oregon is $13.875 per hour. Overtime pay is the cash compensation for the hours eligible employees work in excess of 40 hours in a workweek (a workweek = 7x24= 168 hours).
