N.J. Admin. Code § 12:56-6.5

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 11, June 3, 2024

Section 12:56-6.5 - "Regular hourly wage" payment basis

(a) The "regular hourly wage" is a rate per hour.

(b) The act does not require employers to compensate employees on an hourly rate basis. Their earnings may be determined on a piece-rate, salary, bonus, commission or other basis, but the overtime compensation due to employees shall be paid on the basis of the hourly rate derived therefrom. Therefore, the regular hourly wage of an employee is determined by dividing his or her total remuneration for employment, exclusive of overtime premium pay, in any workweek, by the total number of hours worked in that workweek for which such compensation was paid.

(c) If an employee is remunerated solely on the basis of a single hourly rate, the hourly rate shall be his or her "regular hourly wage".
