Based on FLSA federal overtime rules (40-hour threshold). Some states have daily overtime rules that may differ.

What is the FLSA?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and other employment standards. Under FLSA:

  • Non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay
  • Overtime kicks in after 40 hours per workweek
  • Overtime rate is at least 1.5x the regular rate
  • Employers cannot waive overtime requirements

Exempt vs Non-Exempt Employees

Not all employees qualify for overtime pay:

  • Non-exempt: Eligible for overtime pay under FLSA. Typically hourly workers and salaried employees earning below the salary threshold.
  • Exempt: Not eligible for overtime. Must meet salary threshold ($35,568/year in 2024) AND perform specific executive, administrative, or professional duties.
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours x Hourly Rate x Multiplier
