Overtime in Maine

In Maine, overtime pay is governed by 26 M.R.S. § 664(3), which requires employers to pay an overtime rate for hours worked beyond a certain threshold in a workweek. The statute sets out the specific conditions under which this additional compensation applies, and the official source contains the exact formula and any applicable exceptions. Because the calculation depends on the employee’s regular rate and the number of overtime hours, the precise amount varies by individual circumstances. The verified figure of $300.00 is referenced in the statute for certain procedural contexts. To determine what overtime pay may be due in a given situation, the DocketMath calculator uses the statutory rule to compute the result. Review the official source for complete details, then use the calculator to estimate your own specific outcome.

Wage calculation example

For a Maine wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites 26 M.R.S. § 664(3) (https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/26/title26sec664.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.
