The Problem with Generic Overtime Calculators
Most overtime calculators on the web treat overtime as a trivial equation: Hours > 40 × 1.5. While that reflects basic federal FLSA standards, it fails millions of American workers and small businesses located in states with daily overtime laws.
For example, in California, you earn overtime after 8 hours in a single workday and double time after 12 hours (as well as 8 hours on the 7th consecutive day). In Colorado, overtime triggers after 12 hours in a workday or 12 consecutive hours. In Alaska and Nevada, daily limits also apply. Using a generic calculator in these states can leave hundreds or thousands of earned dollars unaccounted for.
