Must I pay overtime on hours an employee is paid for time off such as vacations, holidays and sick time?
HRCalifornia
Overtime always is based on hours actually worked, not hours paid.
Hours paid for benefits, such as vacations, holidays, sick leave, etc., are not actually worked by the employee and therefore not considered in calculating overtime.
