Nurses are often paid incorrectly for overtime because hospitals calculate the FLSA 'Regular Rate' using only base pay, omitting shift differentials and other included payments.
Existing payroll systems either are not configured correctly to include shift differentials and other non-discretionary payments in the regular rate calculation, or hospitals lack awareness and verification tools.
