Formula

Total = (Rate x Regular Hours) + (Rate x OT Multiplier x OT Hours) + (Rate x 2 x DT Hours)

Under FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive 1.5x their regular rate for hours over 40/week. Some states (like California) require double time after 12 hours/day or on the 7th consecutive day.

Worked Examples

Example 1: 10 hours overtime

Problem:$25/hr, 40 regular + 10 OT at 1.5x

Solution:Regular: 40 x $25 = $1,000. OT: 10 x $37.50 = $375

Result:Total: $1,375 gross
