Understanding Overtime Pay
Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour work week. Understanding how overtime is calculated helps ensure you receive fair compensation for your extra work.
Types of Overtime Rates
- Regular Overtime (1.5x): Standard overtime rate for hours worked over 40 in a week
- Weekend Work (2x): Double pay for weekend work in many industries
- Holiday Work (2.5x): Premium rate for working on holidays
How Overtime is Calculated
Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your regular hourly rate by the overtime multiplier. For example, if you earn $20/hour, your regular overtime rate would be $30/hour (1.5x).
Labor Law Considerations
Overtime laws vary by country and state. In the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires overtime pay for non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours per week. Some states have additional requirements for daily overtime.
Tips for Tracking Overtime
