Answer

You are entitled to pay at time and one half your regular rate of pay if you worked over 40 hours in a workweek. You will need to ask your employer for their definition of a workweek. 820 ILCS 105/4a (1) and 56 Ill. Adm. Code 210.400.

The following employees are exempt from overtime pay:

• Salesmen and mechanics involved in selling or servicing cars, trucks or farm implements at dealerships,
• agricultural labor,
• government employees,
• executive, administrative or professional employees as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act,
• certain employees involved in radio/television in a city with a population under 100,000,
• commissioned employees defined by Section 7(i) of the Fair Labor Standards Act,
• employees who exchange hours pursuant to a workplace exchange agreement,
• employees of certain educational or residential child care institutions. 820 ILCS 105/4a (2).

Here are the complaint forms you need: http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/forms/forms.htm
