Overtime Pay
Compensation at a rate of 1.5 times the regular pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Definition
Under the FLSA, covered non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of not less than one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a single workweek. This provision aims to compensate employees fairly for extended work hours and to discourage excessively long workweeks, promoting work-life balance.
