What is Overtime?

Overtime refers to the time worked beyond the standard working hours, which is typically 40 hours per week in the United States. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay overtime to eligible employees at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular pay rate.

Who is Eligible for Overtime?

Most hourly employees are non-exempt and entitled to overtime pay. Some salaried employees may also be eligible depending on their job duties and salary level. Exempt employees typically include:

• Executive, administrative, and professional employees
• Outside sales employees
• Certain computer professionals
• Highly compensated employees

How is Overtime Calculated?

Overtime is calculated based on the number of hours worked beyond the standard threshold. For example:

• If your regular rate is $20/hour, your overtime rate would be $30/hour (1.5x)
• Working 45 hours in a week would mean 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours
• Your pay would be: (40 × $20) + (5 × $30) = $800 + $150 = $950

State-Specific Regulations

Some states have additional overtime rules. For example, in California:

• Daily overtime is paid after 8 hours in a day
• Double time is paid after 12 hours in a day
• Overtime is paid for the first 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work
