Overtime Requirements

In addition to the minimum wage requirements of federal wage and hour laws, there is an overtime pay requirement that mandates that employers pay nonexempt employees one and one-half times their regular rate for any hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek.

In complying with the overtime requirements of the FLSA, be sure that you:

determine who's subject to overtime rules
understand what constitutes a workweek
compute each worker's regular rate
comply with state laws on overtime pay
can't pay overtime wages other than time and one-half (there is a small group of businesses that can use other methods)

We provide an overtime policy guidance document among the Business Tools, which may help you to avoid the pitfalls of overtime.
