Accountants are usually salaried employees that need to get a certain amount of work done. They probably also book off early in the summer to go to the beach.
Hourly employees who work more than 44 hours in a week are entitled to 1.5 times minimum wage. For an example, if minimum wage is $5/hour and you currently earn $7.50/ hour, you will not receive and premium pay for overtime hours. This is legislation. Employers may have different labour practices in effect.
