Published on 2026 Financial Tools | Smart Paycheck Team
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate.
How Overtime is Calculated
If your regular hourly wage is $20, your overtime rate is $30 per hour ($20 × 1.5). State-specific regulations (such as in California or Alaska) may mandate daily overtime rules as well.
