overtime regulations
Extra work laws
Overtime regulations are laws governing how employers must compensate workers for hours beyond the standard workweek—typically requiring premium pay (often time-and-a-half) after 40 hours.
These rules specify which employees qualify for overtime protection and which are exempt: The new overtime regulations expanded coverage to salaried workers earning under $55,000.
Debates over overtime regulations center on worker protection versus business flexibility.
