Understanding Overtime Pay
Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond the standard workweek. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) mandates that covered non-exempt employees receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per workweek.
How to Calculate Overtime
The standard overtime rate is "time and a half," which means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate.
Example Calculation
If you earn $20 per hour and work 50 hours in a week:
- Regular Pay: 40 hours × $20 = $800
- Overtime Hours: 50 - 40 = 10 hours
- Overtime Rate: $20 × 1.5 = $30/hour
- Overtime Pay: 10 hours × $30 = $300
- Total Pay: $800 + $300 = $1,100
