Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Federal Overtime Rules (FLSA)

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most non-exempt hourly employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states and specific circumstances (like certain holidays in a few states) may require double-time — check your state's specific labor laws.

Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employees

Not all employees are entitled to overtime — "exempt" employees (typically certain salaried professional, administrative, executive, or highly compensated roles meeting specific criteria) aren't covered by FLSA overtime requirements, while "non-exempt" employees are. Consult your employer or a labor law resource if you're unsure of your classification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is time-and-a-half required by law for all overtime?

Under federal FLSA rules, most non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5x pay for hours over 40 in a workweek — some states have additional or different rules (like daily overtime thresholds or double-time in specific situations), so check your state's labor laws.

Do salaried employees get overtime pay?

It depends on their exemption status — many salaried "exempt" employees (certain professional, administrative, or executive roles meeting specific criteria) aren't entitled to overtime pay, while "non-exempt" salaried employees are.
