New Brunswick Overtime Rules
New Brunswick requires overtime pay after 44 hours in a week. The legal minimum for those hours is 1.5 times the minimum wage, not 1.5 times your own rate — although many employers pay time and a half on the regular wage.
- Overtime starts after 44 hours in a workweek. There is no daily overtime.
- Minimum overtime rate: 1.5x the provincial minimum wage for each hour over 44. An employer already paying more than that for those hours meets the standard.
- Managers, supervisors, and some professionals can be exempt from overtime.
The calculator shows 1.5x your regular rate, which is what most employers pay. If you earn more than the minimum wage, the amount the law strictly requires for overtime hours is lower: 1.5x the minimum wage.
