Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states (such as California) also require daily overtime or double time.

Federal overtime rules

The Fair Labor Standards Act requires overtime of at least one and a half times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. States can be more generous: California, for example, also pays overtime after 8 hours in a day and double time after 12. See the Department of Labor.

Frequently asked questions

How is overtime pay calculated?

For non-exempt employees, every hour over 40 in a workweek is paid at least 1.5 times the regular rate. At $22 an hour, an overtime hour pays $33, and 6 overtime hours add $198 to the week.

Who is exempt from overtime?

Salaried executive, administrative and professional employees who meet the duties test and the salary threshold are exempt. Most hourly workers are non-exempt and must be paid overtime.

Is overtime pay taxed differently?

Overtime is taxed as regular wages, but from 2025 to 2028 eligible workers can deduct up to $12,500 of qualified overtime premium pay ($25,000 joint) from federal taxable income under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
