Tennessee Overtime Rules

- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
- No daily overtime or double time — federal law is the whole rulebook.
- Tennessee has no state minimum wage, so the federal $7.25 applies.
Because Tennessee sets no wage rules of its own, overtime and minimum-wage claims are federal. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development handles other employment matters.
The Tennessee minimum wage is $7.25/hour (tipped minimum $2.13). Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
