How state and federal rules combine

The federal Fair Labor Standards Act sets the floor in every state: time and a half for each hour over 40 in a workweek, for non-exempt employees of covered employers. A state can add to that but not take it away.

When both apply, each hour is paid under whichever rule gives more, and never twice. In California a 12-hour day earns 4 hours of daily overtime, and those 4 hours are not counted again toward the weekly 40. The weekly overtime calculator applies this for any state.

Some state rules have a higher threshold than 40, such as 46 in Kansas and 48 in Minnesota. Those apply only to employees the FLSA does not cover; everyone else still gets federal overtime after 40.

How each rule was checked

Each rule was last checked on September 25, 2026 against its official source. Full text means the statute, regulation or agency page was read in full. Excerpts means it was checked against excerpts of the official source. No statute means the state has no law on the subject to cite.

Questions people ask

Which states have daily overtime?

California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado have a daily overtime rule, each with its own threshold and conditions: Nevada’s applies only below $18.00 an hour, and Alaska’s only at employers with four or more employees. Oregon has one for mills, factories and manufacturing, and Kentucky has a seventh-day rule instead.

Which states have no overtime law?

Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming have no general overtime law of their own. Employees there still get federal overtime after 40 hours a week when the FLSA covers them.

If my state has no overtime law, do I still get overtime?

Usually, yes. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act covers most employers in every state, and it requires time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees.

What happens when state and federal overtime rules differ?

You get whichever rule pays more for each hour, never both. Hours already paid as daily overtime are not counted again toward the weekly 40.
