Understanding Overtime Rates
In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) generally requires employers to pay at least 'time and a half' (1.5x your regular rate) for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
How to Calculate Overtime Pay
- Determine your Regular Rate (e.g., $20/hr).
- Multiply that rate by 1.5 to get your Overtime Rate ($30/hr).
- Multiply the Overtime Rate by the number of extra hours worked.
