If my regular pay was backdated to my anniversary date after my review. Is my employer required to backdate my overtime pay as well?

My review was pushed back due to mergers and restructuring of the raises. After our reviews we were told we would have our pay backdated. We finally received our checks, but only our regular pay was backdated. Technically, if our raise would have been given to us on time, all the OT we did during the mergers would've been paid at the higher rate.

Tricky question. Employer was not required to pay you the increased rate of pay prior to the date that the change went into effect. That it did so was gratuitous on the part of the employer. This is tricky because you are still employed by this employer and I suspect you don't want to upset the apple cart much and put your continued employment in jeopardy. You could try to force the issue, but I would not recommend doing so with any particular force as the employer could turn around and end the relationship. Hope this helps.
