Overtime in Connecticut

Connecticut overtime law, under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-76c, requires employers to pay a premium rate for hours worked beyond a standard workweek. The statute establishes a threshold of $300.00 that triggers the overtime obligation for certain employees. Workers whose regular weekly earnings fall at or below this amount are entitled to overtime pay for hours exceeding the standard workweek, calculated according to the formula set out in the statute. The official source at the CGA website provides details on how the rule applies, including any exceptions. For an estimate of overtime pay under this law, the DocketMath calculator can compute the result based on an individual’s specific circumstances.

Wage calculation example

For a Connecticut wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-76c (https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_558.htm#sec_31-76c).

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.
