How time and a half works

Time and a half means overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times your normal hourly rate.

If you make $20 per hour, your overtime rate would be $30 per hour.

Actual overtime eligibility can vary depending on job type, state law, employer policy, and union agreements.

Example

If you earn $20 per hour, work 40 regular hours, and 5 overtime hours:

  • Regular pay: $800
  • Overtime rate: $30
  • Overtime pay: $150
  • Total gross pay: $950
