Frequently Asked Questions
When does overtime kick in?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states have additional daily overtime rules (e.g., California requires overtime after 8 hours in a day).
Who is eligible for overtime?
Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay. Generally, employees earning below a certain salary threshold and those performing non-managerial duties are non-exempt. Salaried employees earning above the threshold in executive, professional, or administrative roles may be exempt.
When is double-time pay required?
Federal law does not require double-time pay. However, some states (like California) require double-time for hours worked over 12 in a day or for work on the 7th consecutive day. Some employers also offer double-time for holidays as a company policy.
