For a seasonal business like lawncare, do I have to pay my employees overtime wages if they work more than 40 hrs. in one week? Do you know where I can go to find documentation on this subject?

The best place to find the rules governing employees in your state is either the U.S. Department of Labor or your state's employment department. All the states have comprehensive web sites, and you could probably e-mail a question through their site and get an answer.

You want to be very careful to comply with these rules, as failure to do so could cause you quite a few headaches.
