Overtime Rules
Federal Law (FLSA): In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act generally requires employers to pay at least "time and a half" (1.5x regular rate) for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Double Time: Federal law does not assume double time. However, some states (like California) or union contracts mandate double time for:
- Hours worked over 12 in a single day.
- Hours worked over 8 on the seventh consecutive day of work.
Exempt vs. Non-Exempt: Overtime rules typically apply to "non-exempt" (hourly) employees. Salaried ("exempt") employees may not be eligible for overtime pay unless they earn below a certain threshold.
