How overtime works

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most non-exempt hourly employees must be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for any hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states add daily-overtime rules (for example, over 8 hours in a day), and double time is set by employer policy or state law, not federal law.
