Overtime in Colorado

Colorado law requires overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 per workweek, as established by the Colorado Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order (COMPS Order 40, 2026), codified at 7 CCR 1103-1, Rule 4. The rule sets out the specific formula for calculating overtime compensation. A verified figure of $300.00 appears in the worked example below, which demonstrates how the calculation applies. The official source at the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment provides the exact details of the rule, including any exceptions or applicable factors. To estimate a specific overtime amount, the DocketMath calculator can compute the result based on the individual circumstances.

Wage calculation example

For a Colorado wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites 7 CCR 1103-1, Rule 4 (COMPS Order 40, 2026) (https://cdle.colorado.gov/wage-and-hour-law/colorado-overtime-and-minimum-pay-standards-comps-order).

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.
