Frequently asked questions
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive 1.5x pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states have daily overtime rules (e.g., California pays OT after 8 hours in a day).
Time and a half (1.5x) is the standard federal overtime rate. Double time (2x) is required in some states (like California for hours over 12 in a day) or may be part of a union contract.
It depends. Salaried employees earning below the FLSA salary threshold (about $58,656/year as of 2025) are generally eligible for overtime. Those above the threshold may be exempt depending on job duties.
Overtime is taxed at the same rate as regular income - there is no special overtime tax. However, the extra income may push you into a higher tax bracket, which means a higher marginal rate on the overtime earnings.
The effective rate is your total pay divided by total hours. If you earn $30/hr for 40 regular hours and $45/hr for 10 OT hours, your effective rate is ($1,200 + $450) / 50 = $33/hr.
