Overtime in New York

New York’s overtime rule requires that non-exempt employees receive additional pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, as set by 12 NYCRR § 142-2.2. The regulation establishes the overtime rate and provides specific exceptions and factors that may affect its application. The exact details of the rate, including the verified figure of $300.00, are demonstrated in the worked example below. The official source at dol.ny.gov/overtime contains the complete regulation, including the formula and any qualifying conditions. For an estimate tailored to individual circumstances, the calculator on this page can compute the result using the governing rule and verified figures.
