Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the overtime rate?

The overtime rate is typically 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. For example, if your hourly rate is $20, your overtime rate would be $30. This rate can vary depending on your employer, job, or location, but it’s often required by law in many jurisdictions for overtime work.

How do I calculate overtime pay?

Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your overtime hours worked by your overtime hourly rate (usually 1.5 times your regular hourly rate). For example, if you worked 5 hours of overtime and your hourly rate is $20, your overtime pay would be $20 * 1.5 * 5 = $150.

Do all jobs pay overtime?

Not all jobs pay overtime. Overtime is typically offered for hourly workers and those who work more than a standard 40-hour workweek. Salaried employees may or may not be eligible for overtime, depending on their job duties and employment contract.

What should I do if my employer doesn’t pay overtime?

If you believe you are entitled to overtime pay but your employer is not paying it, you should discuss the issue with your employer. If the issue is not resolved, you may consider contacting your local labor board or a legal professional to understand your rights.
