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.
