Overtime Working Hour Cutoffs by State
Overtime pay, also known as time-and-a-half pay, is a special pay rate of 1.5 times the normal hourly rate that must be paid paid to many hourly employees when they work over a certain amount of time in a given day or week. Overtime is mandated for covered employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as well as by many state labor departments.
