Calculate total hours worked and weekly pay from time card entries with overtime.
Time Card and Overtime Rules
Time cards track hours worked for payroll. Overtime rules in the US are governed by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5× their regular rate for all hours over 40 per workweek (not per day, unless state law specifies otherwise).
| Hours Worked | Regular Pay | Overtime Pay (1.5×) |
|---|---|---|
| 40 hrs at /hr | /bin/zsh | |
| 45 hrs at /hr | (5 hrs × ) | |
| 50 hrs at /hr | (10 hrs × ) | |
| 60 hrs at /hr | (20 hrs × ) |
California overtime rules are stricter: 1.5× for hours over 8 per day, 2× for hours over 12 per day, and 1.5× for the first 8 hours on the 7th consecutive workday. Most states follow federal FLSA rules, but California, Alaska, Nevada, and Colorado have daily overtime provisions.
How is overtime calculated?
Federal overtime = 1.5 × regular hourly rate × hours over 40 per week. Example: /hr worker puts in 45 hours → 40 hrs × + 5 hrs × = + = gross.
Are salaried employees entitled to overtime?
Only if their salary is below the FLSA salary threshold (/week = ,568/year as of 2020) AND their job duties are non-exempt. Salaried employees above the threshold are typically exempt from overtime.
