Overtime in Kansas

In Kansas, overtime is governed by K.S.A. 44-1204, which requires employers to pay overtime compensation under specific conditions outlined in the statute. The law sets out the circumstances under which overtime applies and provides the framework for calculating additional pay beyond the standard work period. The only verified figure under this statute is $300.00, which appears in the official text. For a precise understanding of how that figure interacts with the overtime formula and any applicable exceptions, readers should consult the official source at the Kansas Revisor of Statutes. The calculator below incorporates the statute’s requirements to estimate a user’s specific overtime compensation based on their individual pay data and work hours.

Wage calculation example

For a Kansas wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites K.S.A. 44-1204 (https://ksrevisor.gov/statutes/chapters/ch44/044_012_0004.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.
