Examples
Good Examples
Standard overtime (FLSA)
$10/hr × 40h regular + $15/hr × 10h OT = $550/weekTime and a half calculation
If you earn $12/hr, time and a half = $12 × 1.5 = $18/hrDouble time for holidays
$25/hr × 8 hours × 2 = $200 double time payBad Examples
Applying wrong multiplier
Using 1x instead of 1.5x for standard overtimeConfusing daily and hourly rates
Entering a daily rate in the hourly fieldCommon Mistakes
- Wrong overtime rate — under FLSA, overtime is at least 1.5x the regular rate
- Not knowing your state laws — some states (CA, AK, NV, CO) have daily overtime rules
- Confusing exempt vs non-exempt employees — some workers are not eligible for overtime
- Forgetting to include all overtime types when mixing 1.5x and 2x hours
- Not accounting for tips or commissions in the base rate calculation
