How Overtime Pay Works

Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond the standard workweek. In most jurisdictions, overtime is calculated as:

Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier)

Where the overtime multiplier is typically 1.5 or 2 times the regular rate.

For example, if you work 8 regular hours at $15/hour with a 1.5x overtime rate:

Regular pay: 8 × $15 = $120
Overtime pay: 2 × ($15 × 1.5) = $45
Total pay: $120 + $45 = $165

Overtime laws vary by country and state. Common thresholds include:

40 hours per week in the US
38 hours per week in the UK
39 hours per week in Canada

Note: Some jobs have different overtime rules. Always check your employment contract or local labor laws.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Standard Overtime Calculation

Scenario: Employee works 45 hours in a week at $20/hour with a 1.5x overtime rate.

Regular hours: 40 × $20 = $800
Overtime hours: 5 × ($20 × 1.5) = $150
Total pay: $800 + $150 = $950

Example 2: Double Time Overtime

Scenario: Employee works 50 hours in a week at $25/hour with a 2x overtime rate.

Regular hours: 40 × $25 = $1,000
Overtime hours: 10 × ($25 × 2) = $500
Total pay: $1,000 + $500 = $1,500

Example 3: Multiple Days with Overtime

Scenario: Employee works 9 hours on Monday, 8 hours on Tuesday, and 10 hours on Wednesday at $18/hour with a 1.5x overtime rate.

Total hours: 9 + 8 + 10 = 27 hours
Regular hours: 27 × $18 = $486
No overtime in this case (under 40 hours)
