To calculate an employee’s time and pay, multiply their weekly hours worked by their base hourly rate. Include breaks under 20 minutes as paid time. If an employee takes an unpaid lunch break, exclude those minutes from the calculation. If an employee is eligible for overtime pay, multiply any hours worked over 40 in a week or eight in a day by 1.5 or 2 times their base hourly rate. An employee’s overtime rate depends on your state’s overtime rules. For even simpler calculations, use automated online timesheets to do the math for you.
