Overtime pay is the additional compensation provided to employees for hours worked beyond their standard workweek. This premium rate is designed to compensate workers for the extra time spent on the job and is usually calculated as a multiple of their regular hourly wage.
Overtime Pay = Base Rate × Multiplier × OT Hours
Suppose an employee has a regular base rate of $20 per hour. If they work 10 hours of overtime in a week where the standard multiplier is 1.5x (time-and-a-half), the calculation would proceed as follows:
By following these steps, you can accurately forecast your earnings or verify your payroll statement for any given period.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that most non-exempt employees in the U.S. be paid overtime for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek at a rate not less than time-and-a-half.
A 1.5x multiplier, or 'time-and-a-half', is the legal standard for weekly overtime. A 2.0x multiplier, or 'double time', is often used for work performed on holidays or for hours exceeding 12 in a single workday in certain jurisdictions.
Generally, employees classified as 'non-exempt' are entitled to overtime. This classification depends on job duties, salary levels, and how the employee is paid (hourly vs. salary).
