Overtime FAQ
- How is overtime calculated?
- Under the FLSA, overtime is calculated at 1.5× your regular rate for each hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Formula: OT Pay = (Total Hours - 40) × Hourly Rate × 1.5.
- What is the overtime threshold?
- The federal threshold is 40 hours per workweek. Some states have daily thresholds: California requires overtime after 8 hours/day. Some industries (healthcare, firefighting) have different thresholds.
- Can my employer refuse to pay overtime?
- No. Under FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay. Employers cannot waive this requirement even with employee consent. However, some employees are 'exempt' based on salary level and job duties.
- Is overtime taxed more?
- Overtime itself is not taxed at a higher rate, but it increases your total earnings for the pay period, which may push some income into a higher tax bracket. The effective tax rate on overtime is usually similar to your regular rate.
