Frequently Asked Questions
What is time and a half?
Time and a half means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate, paid for overtime hours. If your regular rate is $20/hour, time and a half is $30/hour. Federal law requires time and a half for hours over 40 per week for non-exempt employees.
When is double time required?
Federal law does not require double time. However, some states (like California) require 2x pay for hours over 12 in a single day or for work on the 7th consecutive day. Union contracts may also include double time provisions.
Who is exempt from overtime pay?
Salaried employees earning above $43,888/year (2024 threshold) in executive, administrative, or professional roles are generally exempt. Some other categories like outside sales and certain computer professionals also qualify. Hourly employees are almost always non-exempt.
