Georgia Overtime Rules
Georgia has no state overtime law, so the federal FLSA governs entirely: 1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. Georgia is also one of the few states with a statutory minimum wage below the federal level — $5.15 — but the federal $7.25 applies to almost all employers.
- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
- No daily overtime and no double time under Georgia or federal law.
- Georgia's own minimum wage is $5.15, but the federal $7.25 overrides it for covered employers.
Because Georgia defers to federal law, a long single day creates no overtime on its own — only weekly hours over 40 count. The Georgia Department of Labor handles state employment matters, while unpaid overtime is a federal claim.
The Georgia minimum wage is $7.25/hour (tipped minimum $2.13). State minimum is $5.15 but FLSA overrides for most. Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
Frequently asked questions

Georgia set a low state minimum and never raised it, but the federal $7.25 applies to nearly every employer, so $7.25 is what most workers actually get. Overtime is 1.5× of your real rate regardless.
Since overtime here is federal, unpaid-overtime claims go to the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. The Georgia Department of Labor handles matters like unemployment, not federal overtime.
