Overtime Quick Facts
  • FLSA Standard: Non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× pay for hours over 40 in a workweek.
  • Double Time: Not required by federal law, but some states (like California) mandate it for hours over 12/day.
  • Exempt vs Non-Exempt: Salaried exempt employees may not qualify for overtime. Check your classification.
  • State Laws Vary: Some states have stricter overtime rules than federal FLSA. Always check local regulations.
  • Weekly Basis: Overtime is typically calculated per workweek, not per pay period, even for bi-weekly pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Time and a half" means you are paid 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour, your overtime rate would be $30/hour. This is the most common overtime rate required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the United States for non-exempt employees working more than 40 hours in a workweek.
Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5), then multiplying that by the number of overtime hours worked. Formula: Overtime Pay = Hourly Rate × Multiplier × Overtime Hours. For instance, $20 × 1.5 × 5 hours = $150 overtime pay. This is added to your regular pay to get total earnings.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that covered, non-exempt employees receive overtime pay at a rate of not less than 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. There is no federal limit on the number of hours an adult employee may work in a week. Some states, like California, have additional daily overtime requirements (over 8 hours/day).
Overtime under FLSA is calculated per workweek, not per pay period. For biweekly pay (two weeks), you must calculate overtime separately for each week. If you work 45 hours in week 1 and 35 hours in week 2, you'd have 5 overtime hours for week 1 only — even though the total is 80 hours for the pay period. Our calculator simplifies this by using a flat regular-hours threshold for the period; adjust accordingly for per-week calculations.
Time and a half = 1.5× your regular rate (e.g., $20 → $30/hour). Double time = 2× your regular rate (e.g., $20 → $40/hour). Double time is generally not required by federal law but may be mandated by state law (like California for hours over 12 in a day), union contracts, or employer policy. Some employers offer double time for holidays or extreme overtime situations as an incentive.
Not always. Exempt salaried employees (those meeting certain duties and salary threshold tests) are not entitled to overtime pay under FLSA. As of 2024, the salary threshold is $684/week ($35,568/year) for most exempt categories. Non-exempt salaried employees must be paid overtime. Always verify your classification with your employer or a labor law professional.
California has some of the strictest overtime laws in the U.S. In addition to the federal 40-hour weekly threshold, California requires 1.5× pay for hours over 8 in a day (up to 12 hours), 2× pay for hours over 12 in a day, and 2× pay for hours over 8 on the 7th consecutive day of work. Always consult California Labor Code or a legal expert for full details.
