Understanding Time and a Half
"Time and a half" refers to the overtime pay rate that is 1.5 times an employee's regular hourly wage. This is a common standard for compensating non-exempt employees for hours worked beyond a standard workweek.
What is a Standard Workweek?
A standard workweek is generally considered to be 40 hours. Hours worked beyond this are typically classified as overtime and are subject to the time and a half rate.

The Time and a Half Formula
The formula to calculate time and a half overtime pay is:
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours * (Hourly Wage * 1.5)
Example Calculation
For example, if your hourly wage is $20 and you worked 8 hours of overtime, your time and a half earnings would be:
Overtime Pay = 8 * ($20 * 1.5) = $240
Therefore, your time and a half earnings are $240.
Who Qualifies for Overtime Pay?
Generally, non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay. Exempt employees, such as salaried professionals meeting certain criteria, may not be eligible.
Importance of Accurate Overtime Calculation
Accurate overtime calculation is essential for both employees and employers to ensure fair compensation and compliance with labor laws.
