I worked 12 hours one day this week, why didn't I get overtime?: Overtime and Comp Time for all employees but the Sheriff’s Commissioned Officers accumulates after you have worked 40 hours in a week. So if you worked 12 hours on Tuesday but then took off later in the week, you wouldn’t have passed 40 hours for the workweek (a workweek begins on Sunday at 12:01 a.m. and ends on Saturday at midnight).
