As Sr Guzman explained and showed in his copy of the law in my question about lunch hours, a legal workday is 9-5 including lunch. You state your hours are 9-6 therefore, you are already over the limit by 1 hour per day. Then, Saturday 9-2 is also over the legal limit by 1 hour. As it is, right now, you are over the legal limit by 6 hours, not 3.5 as you state in your 47.5 theory. As it stands, right now, your employee could go to the secretary of labor and claim the additional overtime from the time you hired him. Be careful. Get it straight, then go from there.
