Under Co wage law, employers are required to pay each non-exempt employee an overtime wage of one-and-a-half times the employees regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of: 40 hours in 1 workweek; 12 hours in 1 workday; or 12 consecutive hours, regardless of whether the work period overlaps into a second day/ State overtime laws mandate that an employer must pay its employees under the method that would give the greatest benefit to the employees. Any worker who is not paid appropriate wages may bring a civil action against their employer for owed wages. The employee may also recover a penalty equal to the greater of 125% of the amount owed or 10 days of compensation. At this point you can either contact your state's department of labor or consult directly with a local employment law attorney for further information.
