Overtime in Vermont

Vermont overtime is governed by 21 V.S.A. § 384(b), which requires overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.

The only specific dollar figure stated in the statute is $300.00, which relates to a threshold within the law. The worked example below demonstrates how the formula applies. For an estimate of overtime pay under this statute, use the calculator to evaluate your own situation.
