===Overtime pay===
===Averaging agreements===
Generally, your employer must pay you overtime:
If you’re covered by BC’s employment standards law, you can enter into an '''averaging agreement''' with your employer. In effect, an averaging agreement allows your employer to compress your regularly scheduled work week into fewer, longer work days without paying the usual overtime.
 
To use a simple example: If you usually work 40 hours a week, on average, under a one-week averaging agreement, your employer could schedule you to work for 10 hours a day for the four busiest days of work. In this case, your 40-hour, five-day work week has been "averaged" to fit into four days of 10 hours each. No overtime is paid for the 10-hour days.
*when you have no averaging agreement with your employer, and you are required to work more than eight hours in a day or more than 40 hours in a week, or
Averaging agreements can be complicated. See the People’s Law School website for more on [https://www.peopleslawschool.ca/everyday-legal-problems/work/getting-paid/hours-work-and-working-overtime averaging agreements].
*when you do have an averaging agreement with your employer, and your employer asks you to work more hours in a day than you agreed to in the averaging agreement.
 
The amount of overtime pay you get depends on the number of extra hours you work. You must be paid overtime after eight hours of work in one day. Your employer must pay you one-and-a-half times your regular pay for each hour you work after eight hours. This is called ''time-and-a-half''.
 
Your employer must pay you two times your regular pay for each hour you work after 12 hours. This is called ''double-time''.
 
The Employment Standards Branch website has more information about the complicated overtime rules at [http://www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb].
