How it works
Regular: 40 hrs × $25.00 = $1,000.00/week. Overtime: 10 hrs × $37.50 (1.5×) = $375.00/week. Over 52 weeks = $71,500.00/year (vs $52,000.00 without OT).
Time and a Half FAQ
- What is time and a half?
- Time and a half means your employer pays you 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive time and a half for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
- How do I calculate time and a half?
- Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5. For example, if you earn $25/hour, your time and a half rate is $25 × 1.5 = $37.50/hour. Multiply that by the number of overtime hours to get your overtime pay.
- Who qualifies for time and a half?
- Under FLSA, non-exempt employees earning below $35,568/year (or $684/week) are entitled to time and a half for overtime. Salaried employees above this threshold may be exempt, depending on their job duties.
- Is overtime calculated weekly or daily?
- Federal law calculates overtime on a weekly basis (over 40 hours per week). However, some states like California also require daily overtime (over 8 hours per day). Check your state's labor laws.
- What is double time?
- Double time pays 2x your regular rate instead of 1.5x. Some states (like California) require double time after 12 hours in a single day or for the 7th consecutive workday. Federal law does not require double time.
