How it's calculated
pay = rate × reg hrs + (rate × mult) × OT hrs
reg hrs = min(hours, threshold), OT hrs = hours − threshold. Threshold typically 40 h/week, mult 1.5 (time-and-a-half).
Common questions
How is time and a half calculated?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 per overtime hour.
When does overtime pay kick in?
Under federal FLSA rules, after 40 hours in a workweek. Some states also require it after 8 hours in a day.
