The Allied Health Techs Fix Kit
Built for allied health techs (rad, ultrasound, surgical, lab, EKG).
Allied health techs work shifts, call and weekends in departments that run around the clock, and the money leaks in the extra hours: overtime that skipped a differential, call-backs paid short, lunches eaten at the scanner, and credentials that never reached the pay scale. Each leak below is checked against your own stubs and a shift log. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 7 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Overtime paid on base rate instead of the regular rate
The other side owes it- Pull your stubs for any week you worked over 40 hours (VERIFIED: DOL Fact Sheet #56A) AND got a night, weekend or call differential, or a pickup bonus.
- For that week, add up all pay for the work and divide by all hours worked. That is your regular rate. Promised bonuses (attendance, production, safety) count; truly discretionary ones and expense reimbursements do not.
- Overtime is due at one and one-half (VERIFIED: DOL Fact Sheet #56A) times that regular rate for hours over 40 in the workweek. Check whether the stub multiplied base pay alone by one and one-half.
- If it did, send payroll the week, your math and the stub, and ask for the difference.
- If it is not fixed, the Wage and Hour Division takes complaints free and confidentially at 1-866-487-9243. Federal back wages reach back 2 years, 3 if willful (VERIFIED: DOL WHD worker FAQ), so do not wait.
Your part: Check the math, send the email, and decide whether to contact the Wage and Hour Division.
Email to payroll: Subject: Overtime rate check - [YOUR NAME], week of [DATES] Hi [NAME], In the week of [DATES] I worked [TOTAL HOURS] hours. My pay included base pay of [AMOUNT] and [DIFFERENTIAL / BONUS] of [AMOUNT]. My overtime was paid at [OT RATE], which is 1.5 times base only. Under federal rules a promised bonus and other pay for the work go into the regular rate. My math shows a regular rate of [RATE] and an overtime rate of [1.5 x RATE]. Please review this week and any others it applies to. Stub attached. Thank you, [YOUR NAME]
Every overtime week with extra pay on the stub, check the overtime rate the day you get paid.
What this kit can't decide for you: Whether a bonus is discretionary, and whether allied health techs fall under an overtime exemption, is decided by the Wage and Hour Division or a court, not us. State overtime laws may add more; not covered.
That's 1 of 7. The other 6 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up
When allied health techs (rad, ultrasound, surgical, lab, EKG) go looking for answers, they search things like “radiology tech salary”, “ultrasound tech salary”, “surgical tech salary” and “lab tech salary”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 7 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.
