Daily Hours Breakdown

Expert Insight 2026 Pro Tip

Under the FLSA, employers must pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5x their regular rate for hours over 40 per week. Some states have additional daily overtime rules (California requires OT after 8 hours/day and double-time after 12 hours). Always check your state labor laws. Keep accurate time records for at least 3 years as required by federal law.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is overtime calculated on a time card?

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime is calculated when a non-exempt employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime pay is at least 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. Some states like California also require daily overtime after 8 hours. This calculator uses the federal 40-hour weekly threshold with a customizable overtime multiplier.

Should lunch breaks be deducted from work hours?

Yes, unpaid meal breaks must be deducted from total work hours. The FLSA does not require meal breaks, but if provided and the employee is fully relieved of duties, they are unpaid. Short rest breaks (typically 5-20 minutes) are generally considered compensable work time. This calculator lets you set a break duration per day (default 30 minutes).

How do I calculate gross weekly pay from a time card?

First, total all daily work hours for the week (after subtracting breaks). If total exceeds 40 hours, split into regular (40) and overtime (excess). Regular pay = 40 x hourly rate. Overtime pay = overtime hours x hourly rate x 1.5. Gross weekly pay = regular pay + overtime pay. This is pre-tax income before any deductions.
