Understanding New York State Overtime Laws
New York State Labor Law Requirements
New York State Labor Laws require that most employees receive overtime compensation for every hour worked above the regular workweek threshold.
- •Standard Employees: Overtime after 40 hours per week
- •Residential Employees: Overtime after 44 hours per week
- •Overtime Rate: 1.5 times regular hourly pay (time and a half)
- •Cannot Be Waived: Employees cannot give up their right to overtime
How Overtime is Calculated
Step 1: Determine Eligibility
Check if your job is exempt from overtime requirements (see exempt jobs below)
Step 2: Count Overtime Hours
Subtract 40 hours (or 44 for residential) from weekly hours to get overtime hours
Step 3: Calculate Overtime Rate
Multiply regular hourly pay by 1.5 to get overtime pay per hour
Step 4: Calculate Total Pay
Multiply overtime hours by overtime rate and add to regular pay

💼 Example: How Much is Overtime Worth?
