Understanding Overtime Pay Rules
Federal Overtime Rules (FLSA)
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. There is no federal requirement for daily overtime — only the 40-hour weekly threshold matters at the federal level. For full details, see the U.S. Department of Labor’s overtime guidance.
Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employees
Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay. Exempt employees — typically salaried workers in executive, administrative, professional, or outside sales roles who meet minimum salary thresholds — are not. Job title alone doesn’t determine status; actual duties and pay structure do. Check current salary thresholds on the DOL Wage and Hour Division site.
State Overtime Laws
Some states go beyond federal rules. California and Colorado require daily overtime after 8 or 12 hours, Nevada applies daily overtime for workers under a wage threshold, and Alaska mirrors an 8-hour daily standard. Always check your state labor department, since state rules apply whenever they’re more generous than federal law.
Is Overtime Pay Taxed Differently?
Overtime pay is taxed as regular income — there’s no special “overtime tax rate.” It’s added to your total wages for the pay period, which can push you into a higher withholding bracket temporarily, but your effective annual tax rate depends on your total yearly income. See the IRS withholding guidance for details, and check average earnings data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Overtime Calculator FAQs
How is overtime pay calculated?
Multiply your regular hourly rate by your overtime multiplier (usually 1.5× for time-and-a-half) to get your overtime rate per hour, then multiply that by the number of overtime hours worked. Add this to your regular pay for your total weekly earnings.
Who qualifies for overtime under the FLSA?
Non-exempt employees qualify for overtime pay. This generally includes most hourly workers. Exempt employees — certain salaried executive, administrative, professional, and outside sales roles meeting federal salary and duties tests — typically do not qualify.
Does overtime start after 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week?
Under federal FLSA rules, overtime is based on a 40-hour workweek, not a daily threshold. However, states like California, Alaska, Nevada, and Colorado have their own daily overtime rules that can apply in addition to the federal standard.
What is double-time pay and when do I get it?
Double time pays 2× your regular hourly rate. It isn’t required by federal law, but some states (like California, after 12 hours in a day) and some employer policies or union contracts mandate it under specific conditions.
Do salaried employees get overtime pay?
Some do. Being salaried doesn’t automatically make you exempt from overtime — it depends on your job duties and whether your salary meets the federal exemption threshold. Many salaried non-exempt employees are still entitled to overtime pay.
Which states have daily overtime laws?
California, Alaska, Nevada, and Colorado are among the states with daily overtime requirements that go beyond the federal 40-hour weekly rule. Rules and thresholds vary, so check your state labor department for specifics.
Is overtime pay taxed at a higher rate?
No — there’s no separate “overtime tax rate.” Overtime pay is taxed the same as your regular wages and is simply added to your total taxable income for that pay period.
How much is time and a half for $20 an hour?
Time and a half for $20 an hour is $30 per overtime hour ($20 × 1.5). Use the calculator above to see your full weekly, monthly, and annual breakdown.
