Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about overtime pay rates, payroll deductions, and employee rights.

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA 29 U.S.C. § 207), time-and-a-half is calculated by multiplying your 'regular rate of pay' by 1.5. For employees paid solely on an hourly wage without bonuses, this is your hourly rate × 1.5 (e.g., $20.00/hr becomes $30.00/hr for hours beyond 40 in a workweek). Note: Under DOL Fact Sheet #56C, non-discretionary bonuses and shift differentials must also be included into your statutory regular rate calculation.
