What this means
- Federal law requires 1.5× pay for hours over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees. There is no federal daily overtime rule.
- California and a few other states require overtime after 8 hours in a day and double time after 12, which can produce overtime even in a week under 40 hours.
- Production, attendance, and shift-differential pay must be folded into the regular rate before calculating overtime — using base rate alone underpays.
How the overtime pay calculation works
Overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act is one and a half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. The subtlety is in the phrase 'regular rate', which is not always the base hourly wage.
Non-discretionary bonuses, shift differentials, and production incentives all have to be included when computing the regular rate. Divide total straight-time earnings including those payments by total hours worked, then apply the multiplier. Using the base rate alone is one of the most common wage-and-hour violations.
Frequently asked questions
How is time and a half calculated?
Multiply the regular rate by 1.5 and apply it to hours beyond the threshold. At $28 an hour, overtime is $42 an hour.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Only if they are non-exempt. Exemption depends on both salary level and job duties — being paid a salary alone does not make an employee exempt.
