Frequently Asked Questions
The standard overtime rate in the US is 1.5 times (time and a half) the regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. This is mandated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for non-exempt employees. Some states have additional overtime requirements.
Non-exempt employees are eligible for overtime pay. This includes most hourly workers and some salaried employees earning less than $684 per week ($35,568 annually). Exempt employees include executives, administrators, professionals, and certain computer employees who meet specific criteria.
Double time pay is not federally required but may be mandated by state laws, union contracts, or company policies. Common scenarios include working on holidays, Sundays (in some states), or after working excessive hours (like over 12 hours in a day in California).
Overtime is calculated based on the workweek (7 consecutive days), not the pay period. If you work over 40 hours in any workweek, those excess hours are overtime regardless of whether your pay period is weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
Yes, employers can generally require overtime work as long as they pay the proper overtime rate. However, some union contracts, state laws, or employment agreements may limit mandatory overtime. Employees cannot waive their right to overtime pay.
