What Is Time and a Half?
Time and a half means earning 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt workers must receive time and a half for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some states have stricter rules — California requires overtime after 8 hours in a single day, and Alaska, Nevada, and Colorado have similar daily-overtime triggers.
How to Calculate Time and a Half
The formula is simple: multiply your base hourly rate by 1.5. So a $20/hr employee earns $30/hr for every overtime hour. If they work 5 overtime hours, that's $150 in overtime pay on top of their $800 regular weekly wage.
