How It's Calculated

Overtime Rate = Hourly Rate × Multiplier (1.5 or 2).

Total Weekly Pay = (Hourly Rate × Regular Hours) + (Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours).

Example

Example: $28/hr, 40 regular hours, 8 overtime hours at 1.5x → regular pay $1,120 + overtime pay ($42 × 8 = $336) = $1,456/week, or about $75,712/year if sustained.

Frequently Asked Questions
