Daily Overtime Pay FAQs

Answers to daily overtime thresholds, 4/10 schedule rules, and state-specific daily statutes.

Which states have daily overtime laws?
States with daily overtime mandates include California (over 8h/day @ 1.5Γ—, over 12h/day @ 2.0Γ—), Colorado (over 12h/day @ 1.5Γ—), Alaska (over 8h/day @ 1.5Γ—), and Nevada (over 8h/day for workers earning less than 1.5Γ— minimum wage).
What does "anti-pyramiding" mean in daily overtime?
Anti-pyramiding means you cannot receive double overtime for the same hours worked. Overtime hours paid under daily rules (e.g., 2 hours past 8 in a day) count toward satisfying the 40-hour weekly threshold and are not paid a second time as weekly overtime.
How does overtime work on a 4-day, 10-hour (4/10) schedule?
In states like California with Alternative Workweek Schedule (AWS) provisions, a valid 4/10 agreement allows employees to work up to 10 regular hours per day. Any hours worked past 10 up to 12 are paid at 1.5Γ—, and past 12 are paid at 2.0Γ—.
Does federal FLSA require daily overtime pay after 8 hours?
No. Federal FLSA law (29 U.S.C. Β§ 207) does not require daily overtime pay regardless of how many hours you work in a single day. Federal overtime is triggered strictly when total weekly hours exceed 40, unless state laws or employment contracts provide greater benefits.
