HOW TO CALCULATE OVERTIME IF YOU ARE PAID BY COMMISSION
If you are paid by commission, either of the following methods may be used to determine the regular rate of pay for purposes of calculating overtime:
The commission rate is used as the regular rate and you are paid one and one-half this rate for production during the first four overtime hours in a workday, and double time for all hours worked beyond 12 in a workday, or
Divide your total earnings for the workweek, including earnings during overtime hours, by the total hours worked during the workweek, including the overtime hours. For each overtime hour worked you are entitled to an additional one-half the regular rate for hours requiring time and one-half, and to the full rate for hours requiring double time.
