Understanding Florida Overtime Laws

What is Florida Overtime?

Florida does not have separate state overtime laws and instead follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Under FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

When Does Overtime Apply?

  • After 40 hours/week: Pay at 1.5x regular rate (time and a half)
  • Weekly basis: Overtime is calculated based on the workweek, not pay period
  • No daily overtime: Florida has no daily overtime requirements
  • Workweek defined: Any fixed 7-day period (168 hours)
