Overtime pay FAQs

What is time and a half?
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. If you earn $20 per hour, your overtime rate is $30 per hour. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least this rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Does my employer have to pay me overtime?
If you are a non-exempt employee covered by the FLSA, yes — your employer must pay at least 1.5x your regular rate for hours over 40 in a single workweek. Exempt salaried employees are generally not entitled to overtime. Some states and union contracts provide more generous rules.
Which states have daily overtime laws?
California requires 1.5x after 8 hours in a workday (or 40 in a week) and 2x after 12 hours in a day. Alaska and Nevada require 1.5x after 8 hours in a day, and Colorado requires it after 12 hours in a day or 12 consecutive hours. Select your state above to see its rule.
What is double time and when does it apply?
Double time is twice your regular hourly rate. California law requires it after 12 hours worked in a single workday. Many employers in other states also offer double time voluntarily for holidays, weekends, or very long shifts.
Is overtime taxed at a higher rate?
No. Overtime is taxed at the same income tax rates as regular pay. A larger paycheck can make withholding look higher because more of your income falls into a higher bracket for that pay period, but the tax rate on the overtime itself is not special.
Do salaried employees get overtime pay?
Exempt salaried employees generally do not. However, non-exempt salaried employees are entitled to overtime based on their regular hourly rate, which is the salary divided by the total hours the salary is intended to cover.
How is my regular rate calculated if I earn bonuses?
Under the FLSA, non-discretionary bonuses and shift differentials must be included in your regular rate before the 1.5x multiplier is applied. This calculator uses the simple hourly rate you enter, so add any such extras to your rate first for the most accurate result.
