Understanding Overtime Pay
What is Overtime Pay?
Overtime pay is the financial compensation for time worked beyond standard work hours. It ensures employees receive fair pay for extra effort and helps prevent worker exploitation.
- •Federal Standard: Time and a half (1.5x) for hours over 40/week
- •Double Time: 2x rate for holidays or excessive hours (varies by state)
- •State Laws: Some states have stricter requirements
Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Calculate Regular Pay
Regular Hours × Regular Hourly Pay = Total Regular Pay
Example: 40 hours × $15/hr = $600
Step 2: Calculate Overtime Rate
Regular Pay × Overtime Multiplier = Overtime Pay Rate
Example: $15/hr × 1.5 = $22.50/hr
Step 3: Calculate Overtime Pay
Overtime Hours × Overtime Rate = Total Overtime Pay
Example: 10 hours × $22.50/hr = $225
Step 4: Calculate Total Paycheck
Regular Pay + Overtime Pay = Total Pay
Example: $600 + $225 = $825
💼 Real World Example
