In Alberta, overtime means all hours worked beyond 8 hours a day or 44 hours a week, whichever is more. This is referred to as the 8/44 rule: workers are entitled to overtime pay for hours that fall outside 8 hours a day or 44 hours a week. It is important to note that there are some industries and professions that are exempt from this rule and have different regulations related to overtime, such as federally regulated sectors.
