Question: Is extra pay required for weekend or night work?
Answer: Extra pay for working weekends or nights is a matter of agreement between
the employer and the employee (or the employee's representative). The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does
not require extra pay for weekend or night work. However, the FLSA does require
that
covered,
nonexempt workers be paid not less than time and one-half the employee's regular
rate for time worked over 40 hours in a workweek.
