Understanding Overtime Pay
Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond the standard workweek. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Federal Overtime Rules
- Overtime kicks in after 40 hours per workweek
- Minimum overtime rate is 1.5x regular pay (time and a half)
- Applies to non-exempt employees only
- Workweek is any fixed 168 consecutive hours (7 days)
California Overtime Rules
- Daily overtime: 1.5x after 8 hours in a day
- Double time: 2x after 12 hours in a day
- 7th day rule: 1.5x for first 8 hours, 2x after 8 hours on the 7th consecutive workday
Overtime Pay Formula
OT Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × 1.5)
DT Pay = Double Time Hours × (Hourly Rate × 2)
Total = Regular Pay + OT Pay + DT Pay
