Frequently asked questions
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. It is the federal minimum overtime premium under the FLSA. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour.
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5. For $18/hr, that is 18 × 1.5 = $27 per overtime hour. To get total overtime pay, multiply that by the number of overtime hours.
$30. Twenty dollars times 1.5 equals thirty dollars per hour. Five overtime hours at that rate would be 5 × $30 = $150.
Under federal law, non-exempt employees earn time and a half for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states add daily overtime. This tool gives the 1.5× rate; to compute a full week of regular plus overtime pay, use the overtime pay calculator.
No. Time and a half is 1.5×; double time is 2×. Double time is not required federally and usually comes from state law (like California) or a contract.
