-===Minimum daily pay===
+===Overtime pay===
-If you come to work as your employer asks you to do, you must be paid for at least two hours at your regular wage, even if you work less. If you have an averaging agreement and you agreed to work more than eight hours in a day, you must be paid for at least four hours, even if you work less.
+If you are covered by BC’s employment standards law, here’s how the overtime rules work.
-If you come to work but you are unfit to work because for example you have been drinking or because you forgot your safety equipment, your employer does not need to pay you minimum daily pay.
+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'''.
