How it works
Overtime hours are paid at your regular rate multiplied by the overtime multiplier. Regular hours are paid at the normal rate, and the two amounts are added together.
Time and a half (1.5x) is a common multiplier, and double time (2x) often applies to holidays or very long shifts. The right multiplier depends on your country, state and contract.
Overtime rate = Hourly rate x Multiplier
Total pay = (Hourly rate x Regular hours) + (Overtime rate x Overtime hours)Example
At 20 per hour with 40 regular hours and 8 overtime hours at 1.5x, regular pay is 800, the overtime rate is 30 and overtime pay is 240, for a total of 1,040.

When does overtime start?
