Frequently Asked Questions About Overtime Pay
How is overtime pay calculated?
Under US federal law (FLSA), overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek.
Who qualifies for overtime pay?
Most hourly employees are eligible. Exempt employees typically executive, administrative, professional roles earning above $35,568/year may not qualify.
What does time and a half mean?
Time and a half means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. So if you normally earn $20/hour, time and a half equals $30/hour.
Can overtime be calculated daily instead of weekly?
The FLSA uses a 7-day workweek standard. However, some states like California require daily overtime pay for hours exceeding 8 in a single day.
