How It Works
The basic federal rule pays covered workers time and a half for hours over 40 in one seven-day workweek. Here are the main sums:
The salary mode uses a 40-hour week and 52 weeks a year. It divides yearly pay by 2,080 to get an hourly rate. Your actual regular rate may depend on the terms of your job.
