How it's calculated
weekly pay = rate × reg hrs + (rate × mult) × OT hrs
reg hrs = min(hours, threshold), OT hrs = hours − threshold; salaried rate = salary ÷ (40 × 52); annual = weekly × 52. Default threshold 40 h, mult 1.5.
Common questions
What is the federal overtime rate?
Under the FLSA, non-exempt workers earn 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week.
When does double time apply?
Double time (2x) is not federally required but appears in some state laws and union contracts for very long days or holidays.
