Overtime in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, the overtime rate under Wis. Admin. Code DWD § 274.03 is calculated using a formula that incorporates a verified figure of $300.00. This rule establishes the method for determining overtime pay when an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek. The regulation sets out the specific factors and exceptions that apply to the calculation. Because the exact formula involves multiple components defined in the official source, the precise amount will vary based on individual circumstances. The worked example below demonstrates how the $300.00 figure is applied in a typical scenario. To estimate your own potential overtime amount, use the DocketMath calculator, which follows the rule’s requirements as detailed at the official source.

Wage calculation example

For a Wisconsin wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites Wis. Admin. Code DWD § 274.03 (https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin_code/dwd/270_279/274/03).

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.
