overtime compensation

Beyond-schedule wage supplement

Overtime compensation is the additional pay workers receive for hours worked beyond the standard workweek, typically forty hours in the United States.

Federal and state laws often require employers to pay a premium rate—commonly time-and-a-half—for these extra hours: She relies on overtime compensation to make ends meet.

Some salaried employees are exempt from overtime compensation requirements.
