How to Compute Overtime Pay

The laws governing overtime pay essentially state that an employee is supposed to be paid at least one and a half times his or her regular rate of pay per hour worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek.

Overtime may be calculated several different ways:

• Hourly Rate: An employee is entitled to 1.5x his or her regular hourly rate per hour, if hours per workweek exceed 40.
  • For Example: If an employee is paid $10/hour and works 45 hours in a workweek, the employee is entitled to 1.5 x $10 for the 5 overtime hours put in. This means that the employee would make $15/hour for every hour worked over 40, or in this case, a total of $75. The total paycheck at the end of the week would be $475.
• Piece Rate: For employees paid on a piecework basis, their overtime is calculated by dividing total weekly earnings by the total number of hours worked in that workweek. The employee is entitled to an additional one-half times the regular rate for each hour in excess of 40 hours per week, plus the full piecework earnings.
  • For Example: If an employee is paid $400 for a workweek in which he or she worked 45 hours, then the regular rate of pay can be calculated by dividing $400 by 45. This comes out to approximately $8.90 per hour. The employee is then owed an additional $4.45 (half the rate of pay) for each hour worked over 40.
• Salary: If an employee is paid a salary for a specified number of hours per week. The regular rate can be obtained by dividing the salary by the number of hours for which the salary compensates.
