Overtime in Oklahoma
Oklahoma follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which requires overtime pay at a rate of one and one-half times the regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. The state has no separate overtime statute, so the FLSA governs all covered employers and employees. The regular rate includes all compensation, and the overtime premium applies to each hour over 40. The official statute, 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1), sets out the calculation method and any applicable exceptions. A verified figure of $300.00 appears in the worked example below, which demonstrates how the formula applies to a specific scenario. For an estimate of overtime pay in an individual situation, the calculator on this page can compute the result using the user’s own numbers.
