Try HoursOwedThe rule this calculator uses
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act applies in Texas: unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive at least one and one-half times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (U.S. Department of Labor). That is the default here.
The federal rule counts overtime by the week, not by the day. A 10-hour day is not overtime on its own; it adds to the weekly total, and overtime starts once the week passes 40 hours. Each workweek is counted on its own, even if you are paid every two weeks — for two weeks at once, use the biweekly calculator.
What it does not cover
- Jobs that are exempt from overtime, such as many salaried managers and professionals.
- Bonuses, commissions and shift differentials, which change the regular rate that overtime is based on.
- Hospitals and residential care facilities that use the federal “8 and 80” overtime system (over 8 hours a day or 80 hours in 14 days).
- Rules set by your contract or union agreement.
Questions
Does my employer have to pay overtime for more than 8 hours in a day?
Not under the federal rule. If your contract or employer pays daily overtime, turn on Daily overtime in the calculator.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is an estimate to check your own hours, not legal or payroll advice. If your paycheck does not match, ask your employer or the Wage and Hour Division.
