In your work field, depending on the comapny, there are a certain amount of hours you can work before going into overtime. Overtime pay is when you work over the minimum corperate set hour base line. Which if you pass that certain number, you get pay and a half. Which basically means your regular hour pay, but another half of it. So say you're making $9 and hour. If you go into overtime, you'd be making $13 an hour. But only in thos overtime hours. So if you worked say 7 hours overtime, you'd make $91 just in those 7 hours.
