Frequently Asked Questions

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the standard overtime rate is 1.5 times your regular pay rate for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek.

Double-time (2.0x your base rate) is an increased rate required by some states (like California) or union contracts under specific conditions, such as working over 12 hours in a single day.

While federal law calculates overtime based on a 40-hour workweek, certain states (like California, Alaska, and Nevada) require overtime pay after a set number of hours (usually 8) in a single workday.

It depends on their classification. Only employees properly classified as "Exempt" under FLSA rules (based on meeting specific salary thresholds and job duties) are ineligible for overtime pay.

Your effective hourly rate is the blended average of your pay. It is calculated by taking your total gross earnings (regular + overtime + double-time) and dividing it by your total hours worked.

Non-discretionary bonuses (bonuses tied to performance, attendance, or productivity) must typically be included in your regular pay rate calculation, which proportionately increases your base overtime rate.
