Caregiver: how to calculate overtime?

I'm a Indiana lady, working as a servant at in a small town, my contract requires me to work 26 hours a week, not living with her, the lady recently asked me to do many hours of overtime, as they should pay me more hours ?

 the lady should recognize increases the hourly wage for the hours of work performed are in more than overtime.

For the law is treated as overtime that exceeds the daily or weekly maximum duration fixed by the contract you signed and in any event, except as provided by the collective agreement, but you can also decide that the extension is due to a recovery of hours that you previously agreed in this case then it is considered extraordinary.

 The collective agreement sets the normal duration of working time for workers living with a maximum of 10 hours a day, not consecutive, for a total of 54 hours per week. For workers not living in 8 hours a day, not consecutive, for a total of 40 hours per week, spread over 5 days or over 6 days.

First lady to ask for at least a day before if you can play more hours of work and can ask to work both day and night unless you, for example, you have a medical examination and then you can not work (only for a good reason).

However, if the lady asks you to work because it is located in an emergency situation, such as a fever, or more generally when there are exceptional or unforeseeable, any services provided during the hours of rest day and night are considered normal font and give rise only to the extension of the rest itself.

First, it must be said, however, that for workers at all hours of the services provided over the schedule, as they fall within the 40 ordinary hours per week, to be paid as normal. Furthermore, again according to the collective agreement the hours worked by workers who are not partners, in excess of 40 hours and up to 44 hours per week provided carried out in the hours between 6.00 am and 22.00 pm, are offset by an increase of 10% .

Overtime must be compensated by adding a surcharge to the hourly rate that varies depending on the circumstances:
• increase applicable to the hourly wage equal to 25% if the additional work is carried out from 6000 hours to 22.00
• increase of 50% if the work takes place between 22:00 and 6:00
• increase of 60% but if the work is done on a Sunday or a public holiday (for holidays are considered: 1 January, 6 January, Easter Monday, April 25th, May 1st, June 2nd, August 15 , Nov. 1, Dec. 8, Dec. 25, Dec. 26)

In your case, so if your work is normally held for 26 hours per week to 7.00 euro per hour in a week and the lady asks you to work for 36 hours, ten 10 hours you have worked in more than is considered normal: then 7.00 X 36 = 252.

But if it works 45 hours a week then the first 40 you will be paid as normal, the 4 will be increased by 10% and 1 will be increased by 25%
Therefore we have:
7.00 X 40 = 280
7.00 X10 = 0.7% x 4 = 30.80
7.00% X25 = 8.75 X 1 = 8.75
The week's pay will be 289.30 euro pariah.

This is a calculation to keep in mind that when it comes to occasional overtime.

However, if your employer is aware that the increase in hours is a constant need to change the contract and immediately notify the INPS.
