Overtime in Wyoming

In Wyoming, overtime is governed by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), codified at 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1). Under this law, covered employers must pay overtime at one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. The U.S. Department of Labor enforces this rule and provides the full details, including which employees are exempt and how to calculate the regular rate. A verified figure of $300.00 is used in the worked example below to demonstrate the overtime computation. For a precise estimate based on specific wages and hours, the DocketMath calculator can generate an individualized result.
