Usually the pay for the hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week. Federal laws require payment for these hours for employees who are not able to control their hours. For example, a company is required to pay a production worker or office clerk for hours in excess of 40 per week, even if they are salaried. However, the company is not required to pay a company executive for hours in excess of 40 per week, since the executive can control his or her hours.

"I love your PRO Plus program, I must say you've done a fantastic job creating this course. I learned more here in a few weeks, than I did in the previous 2 years with my college 'Bookkeeping' program. In fact, I was doing my final project when I realized they just did not teach me (or I did not retain) all I needed to know. Thanks to your course, I am getting ready to complete their diploma course. I plan to get my certification and start a bookkeeping business here. I was thrilled to pay for your course, well worth it. Thank You!" - Thomas G.
