How Overtime Pay Works
Overtime pay compensates employees for working beyond their standard hours. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Formula
Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Rate × Multiplier)Your total weekly pay combines your regular earnings with your overtime earnings, calculated using the overtime multiplier.
Where:
- Regular Hours = Standard hours worked (typically 40/week)
- Rate = Your base hourly pay rate
- Overtime Hours = Hours worked beyond regular hours
- Multiplier = Overtime rate multiplier (typically 1.5x)
Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime calculated?▼
Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (typically 1.5x) and then by the number of overtime hours worked. For example, $25/hr × 1.5 × 10 hours = $375 in overtime pay.
What is time and a half?▼
Time and a half means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. If you make $20/hour, your overtime rate would be $30/hour.
When does overtime start?▼
In the US, federal law (FLSA) requires overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees. Some states have additional rules.
What is double time?▼
Double time means you earn 2 times your regular hourly rate. This is sometimes paid on holidays or for hours exceeding a certain threshold beyond standard overtime.
Is overtime taxed differently?▼
Overtime is not taxed at a different rate, but because it increases your total income, it may push you into a higher tax bracket for that pay period, resulting in more withholding.
