How Overtime Pay Works in the US
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay non-exempt employees overtime at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states have additional requirements, such as daily overtime or double-time rules.
Key Overtime Rules
- Federal baseline: 1.5× regular rate for hours over 40/week
- California: Daily overtime after 8 hours, double time after 12
- Colorado: Daily overtime after 12 hours
- Alaska, Nevada, Puerto Rico: Daily overtime after 8 hours
Who Is Exempt?
Certain salaried employees in executive, administrative, professional, and outside sales roles may be exempt from overtime if they meet specific salary and duties tests. As of 2024, the federal salary threshold is $684/week ($35,568/year).
