How Overtime Pay Works

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at no less than one and one-half times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states, employers, and union contracts apply higher multipliers — 2x (double time) and 2.5x for holidays or seventh-consecutive-day work are common. Use the calculator above to test different scenarios.

Common Overtime Scenarios

Standard overtime (1.5x): Hours past 40 in a workweek for most hourly workers.
Double time (2x): California law triggers this after 12 hours in a day, or after 8 hours on the seventh consecutive workday.
Premium pay (2.5x): Often negotiated in union contracts for holidays or extreme schedules.
