⏰ How Overtime Pay Is Calculated
Overtime rate = Hourly rate × multiplier. Overtime pay = OT hours × OT rate, and total pay = regular pay + overtime pay.
Example: $20/hour, 40 regular hours, 5 overtime hours at 1.5×. Regular pay = $800. OT rate = $30, so OT pay = $150. Total = $950.
📋 Overtime Rules (US)
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states (like California) add daily overtime and double-time rules. Always check your state's labor laws for the exact thresholds that apply to you.
