Worked example
Four 9-hour days and one 8-hour day is 44 hours, so 4 hours are paid at 1.5脳.
Things that change the result
- Florida has no daily overtime, so long shifts only earn overtime once the week passes 40 hours.
- Overtime is paid on your regular rate, which includes shift differentials and most bonuses. If you earn differentials, use the shift differential calculator to find your overtime rate.
- Managers and some salaried roles are exempt from overtime. This calculator assumes you are an hourly, non-exempt employee.
Questions
- Does Florida have daily overtime?
- No. Florida only requires overtime after 40 hours in a workweek, so a long shift doesn't earn overtime on its own.
- What is the overtime rate in Florida?
- Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the regular rate of pay.
- Can my employer average hours over two weeks?
- No, not for the standard rule. Overtime is calculated for each workweek on its own, even when you're paid every two weeks. The main exception is the 8/80 system some hospitals and care facilities use by agreement.
