Question: do hourly employees get paid overtime?
Answer: Overtime pay. Overtime pay is 1½ times the employee's regular rate of pay. ... For example, an employee who has a regular rate of $12.00 an hour will have an overtime rate of $18.00 an hour (12 × 1.5 = 18). The employee must therefore be paid at a rate of $18.00 an hour for every hour worked in excess of 44 in a week.
