Overtime rules in Florida
Florida relies on the federal overtime rule.
When is overtime owed in Florida?
We could not find a separate Florida overtime law. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, covered non-exempt employees must get at least one and one-half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Can hours be averaged over two weeks?
Not under the FLSA. Each workweek stands alone.
