What the FLSA says about overtime
The Fair Labor Standards Act is the federal law that sets the minimum overtime standard in the United States. It says non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
The FLSA does not require overtime for weekends, holidays, or more than eight hours in a day unless the employer's policy or a state law says otherwise. It also does not limit the total number of hours an employee can work, only the pay rate for hours over 40.
For state-specific rules that may be stronger than the FLSA — such as California's daily overtime or Massachusetts' Sunday premium pay — use our overtime calculators by state.
