How would the payment of a "Premium Rate" for work done on weekends by non-exempt staff factor into calculating the "Regular Rate" for overtime purposes?

    For us, the overtime and premium rates are the regular rate with a multiplier applied.

    For instance,

    Overtime = Regular rate*1.5
    Double time = Reg. Rate *2

    Everything keys off the regular rate.

    Some premium rates are negotiated, such as those for k-9 officers, which means you'll find specifics in the contract.
