What is time and a half?

Time and a half means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. If you make $20/hour, your overtime rate is $30/hour.

When do I get double time?

Double time is required in some states (like California for hours over 12 in a day) and may be offered by employers for holidays or weekends.

Who qualifies for overtime pay?

Non-exempt employees under the FLSA qualify for overtime. Exempt employees (typically salaried professionals, executives, and administrators earning over $684/week) may not qualify.
