What the new York overtime calculator works out
Most US states follow the federal rule: overtime after 40 hours in a week. New York sets overtime by the workweek, with no daily limit. This calculator adds up one week of hours and pays the hours past 40 at time and a half.
How it is calculated
Add up the week
Add the hours worked on each day of the workweek. Every day counts the same; there is no daily limit.
Split at the weekly limit
The first 40 hours are regular hours. Hours past 40 in the week are overtime at time and a half.
Worked example
At $20 an hour: five days of 9 hours and 6 hours on Saturday make 51 hours. The first 40 are regular, the last 11 are overtime. Pay is 40 x $20 = $800, plus 11 x $30 = $330: $1,130 for the week.
Know the hours before you pay them
Wrkbase records hours as people work: attendance logs sign-in, breaks and sign-off for each day, and a task timer starts when a task moves to In progress. Both are on the Free plan, for up to 5 people.
