Overtime in New Mexico

New Mexico law requires overtime pay at a rate calculated under N.M. Stat. Ann. § 50-4-22(E). The statute sets out the overtime obligation for hours worked beyond the standard workweek, with a verified figure of $300.00 referenced in the official source. The exact formula and any applicable exceptions are detailed in the statute itself, which is available at the provided link from the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. The worked example below demonstrates how the computation applies, using the pinned figure. To estimate a specific overtime result based on individual circumstances, use the DocketMath calculator.

Wage calculation example

For a New Mexico wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites N.M. Stat. Ann. § 50-4-22(E) (https://www.dws.state.nm.us/Portals/0/DM/LaborRelations/New_Mexico_Minimum_Wage_Act.pdf).

Example inputs:
