Understanding Overtime Pay
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay of at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Overtime Pay = (Total Hours − 40) × Hourly Rate × OT Multiplier
For example, if you earn $20/hour and work 50 hours in a week, you'd receive $800 for the first 40 hours plus $300 in overtime (10 hrs × $30), totaling $1,100 for the week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Under the FLSA, overtime is paid at 1.5× your regular hourly rate for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states or employers may offer double-time (2×) for hours beyond a certain threshold.
What counts as overtime?
For most non-exempt employees, any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek qualify for overtime pay. Some states also require daily overtime for hours over 8 in a single day.
What is the standard overtime rate?
The standard overtime rate is 1.5× (time and a half) your regular hourly pay. Some employers offer 2× (double time) for holidays or extended overtime hours.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
It depends. Salaried employees classified as 'non-exempt' under the FLSA are entitled to overtime. 'Exempt' employees (usually earning above a certain threshold in managerial/professional roles) typically are not.
