How it is calculated
Overtime pay = overtime hours × regular rate × 1.5. Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees earn 1.5 × their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Example: a 46-hour week at $16 pays 40 × $16 = $640.00 regular plus 6 × $24.00 = $144.00 overtime, $784.00 in total. In California, hours over 8 in a day are paid at 1.5× and hours over 12 at 2× ($32.00), and the seventh consecutive workday starts at 1.5×.
