Overtime Laws

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular rate.

Some states have additional overtime rules:

  • California: Daily overtime over 8 hours, double time over 12 hours
  • Nevada: Daily overtime over 8 hours if earning less than 1.5x minimum wage
  • Alaska: Daily overtime over 8 hours
  • Colorado: Daily overtime over 12 hours

Calculating Overtime Pay

Time and a Half (1.5x): Regular Rate × 1.5 = Overtime Rate

Double Time (2x): Regular Rate × 2 = Double Time Rate

Example: If your regular rate is $20/hour:

  • Overtime rate = $20 × 1.5 = $30/hour
  • Double time rate = $20 × 2 = $40/hour

    No. If you are a non-exempt employee and work overtime hours, your employer must pay you overtime wages. Refusing to pay overtime is a violation of federal law.

    Federal law requires overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. Some states (like California) also require daily overtime after 8 hours worked in a day.
