Overtime in Arkansas

Under Arkansas law, overtime compensation is governed by Ark. Code Ann. § 11-4-211, which provides a specific framework for calculating additional pay when an employee works beyond a certain threshold. The statute sets out the conditions under which overtime must be paid, and the official source contains the precise details of the rule. A verified figure of $300.00 appears in the worked example below, which demonstrates how the calculation operates in practice. Because the exact formula and applicable factors are defined entirely by the statute, the most accurate way to determine an individual result is to use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the law’s provisions to the user’s specific hours and wages.

Wage calculation example

For a Arkansas wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites Ark. Code Ann. § 11-4-211 (https://codes.findlaw.com/ar/title-11-labor-and-industrial-relations/ar-code-sect-11-4-211.html).

Example inputs:

• Hourly rate: $20
• Hours at issue: 10
• Applied multiplier: 1.5x

Calculation:

• Multiply the hourly rate by the hours at issue.
• Apply the verified multiplier when the claim type requires it.
• Example amount: $300.00

This example is generated from packet-backed values. Confirm coverage, exemptions, lookback periods, and liquidated-damages rules before relying on the amount.
