Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FLSA overtime threshold?

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states have additional daily overtime thresholds.

Is overtime always time-and-a-half?

Under federal FLSA rules, overtime is 1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a week. Some states like California require daily overtime (1.5x after 8 hours, double time after 12 hours) and double time on the 7th consecutive day.

Do salaried employees get overtime?

Salaried employees may be exempt from overtime if they meet specific duties tests and earn above the salary threshold ($43,888 as of July 2024, rising to $58,656 in January 2025). Non-exempt salaried workers are entitled to overtime.

What is double time and when does it apply?

Double time is 2.0x the regular hourly rate. Federal FLSA does not require double time, but some states mandate it in specific situations, such as California (after 12 hours in a day or on the 7th consecutive workday in a week).

How is overtime calculated for tipped employees?

For tipped employees, overtime is calculated at 1.5 times the full minimum wage (not the tipped wage). The employer cannot use the tip credit to reduce the overtime rate below 1.5x the applicable minimum wage.

Are overtime rules the same in every state?

No. While the FLSA sets the federal baseline (1.5x after 40 hours/week), states like California, Alaska, and Nevada have daily overtime thresholds. Always check your state labor laws for additional requirements.
