Frequently asked questions
How is overtime calculated?
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. At $20/hour, overtime pays $30/hour.
When do I get double time?
Federal law doesn't require double time, but some states and employers do. In California, for example, hours over 12 in a workday and over 8 on the seventh consecutive workday are paid at double time.
Do states have daily overtime rules?
A few do. California pays overtime after 8 hours in a day; Alaska and Nevada have daily overtime rules in some situations, and Colorado after 12 hours a day. Most states follow the federal 40-hours-per-week rule.
Is overtime pay taxed?
Yes, overtime is taxable wages. For 2025–2028, federal law lets eligible workers deduct the extra “half” portion of qualified overtime pay (up to $12,500, or $25,000 for joint filers, with income limits) on their tax return. Social Security, Medicare and state taxes still apply.
