Thanks for the replies. It still does not seem right though just because you have a degree you are considered to be under professional standing (especially if you are not registered under a "p." standing)
Quote from the Alberta Employment standards website
"
What is Overtime?
Except as noted below, overtime is all hours worked in excess of:
- eight hours a day, or
- 44 hours a week.
Overtime hours are to be calculated both on a daily and on a weekly basis. The higher of the two numbers is overtime hours worked in the week.
All employees, including those who are paid a weekly, monthly, or annual salary, must be paid overtime pay for overtime hours they work."
So if you are on salary, and you are not under a professional standing...you should be getting paid overtime. "http://employment.alberta.ca/SFW/1470.html"
