FLSA §7(a)(1): time-and-a-half the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek
- 01
OT hours = max(0, hours − 40) - 02
Pay due = rate × min(hours, 40) + 1.5 × rate × OT hours - 03
Shortfall = pay due − amount paid
Limits — read before relying on it
- Federal rules only. Many states are stricter (e.g. California daily overtime) — the stricter rule applies.
- Assumes you are a non-exempt employee; salaried exempt roles are not covered.
- The regular rate must include non-discretionary bonuses and shift differentials; enter the blended rate if you had them.
- Not legal advice.
