This calculation answers how much overtime pay is due when a covered nonexempt Delaware employee works more than 40 hours in one fixed FLSA workweek. Delaware does not have its own general overtime statute, so non-exempt Delaware employees use the FLSA rule: overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. The result separates regular pay, overtime premium pay, and total gross wages for that week.
The Delaware Department of Labor, Office of Wage and Hour Enforcement handles state wage-and-hour compliance. Delaware's statewide minimum wage is $15.00 per hour as of January 1, 2025, so a Delaware minimum-wage overtime check uses at least $22.50 per overtime hour. Higher regular rates produce higher overtime rates because the 1.5x multiplier applies to the employee's regular rate of pay.
Start with total hours actually worked in the fixed 168-hour FLSA workweek. Pay the first 40 hours at the regular rate, then pay hours over 40 at 1.5 times the regular rate. For a single hourly rate, the formula is: regular pay = 40 × regular rate, overtime rate = regular rate × 1.5, overtime pay = overtime hours × overtime rate, and total pay = regular pay + overtime pay.
For example, a covered nonexempt Delaware employee works 47 hours in one fixed FLSA workweek at a $29 regular rate. Regular pay is 40 × $29 = $1,160. Overtime hours are 47 - 40 = 7. The overtime rate is $29 × 1.5 = $43.50. Overtime pay is 7 × $43.50 = $304.50, so total gross pay for the week is $1,464.50.
The most common Delaware mistake is treating a long day as automatic overtime. Delaware has no general daily overtime threshold; federal law measures overtime by the workweek, not by hours worked in a single day unless weekly overtime is reached. A 10-hour day at the regular rate is not automatically an overtime day if the covered nonexempt employee stays at 40 or fewer hours for the fixed workweek.
The second mistake is averaging two workweeks together. Each FLSA workweek stands alone for overtime calculations; hours may not be averaged over two or more workweeks to avoid overtime. If a covered nonexempt employee works 35 hours one week and 45 hours the next, the second week has 5 overtime hours. Biweekly payroll timing does not change the weekly overtime calculation.
A one-off calculator is enough when you have one employee, one hourly rate, no bonus or shift differential issues, and one clear fixed workweek. It gives a fast check for gross overtime wages before payroll review. Use it for employee questions when the only dispute is whether hours over 40 were multiplied by 1.5.
A managed workflow is better when timecards, approvals, edits, and payroll handoff need a record. Everhour timecards support payroll review with daily, weekly, and monthly work-hour totals, project-vs-working-hour comparisons, normal-hours highlighting, exports, Team Hours reporting, and optional Slack summaries. That matters when managers must review hours before payroll instead of rebuilding totals from messages or spreadsheets.

No. Delaware has no general daily overtime threshold. For covered nonexempt employees, Delaware uses the FLSA weekly rule: overtime pay applies after 40 hours worked in a fixed workweek. A long single shift does not create overtime by itself unless the employee's total weekly hours exceed 40 or a contract, policy, or other applicable rule gives a greater benefit.
At Delaware's $15.00 minimum wage, the minimum time-and-a-half overtime rate is $22.50 per hour. That number is only the floor for covered nonexempt employees paid at the state minimum wage. If the employee's regular rate is higher than $15.00, the overtime rate must be at least 1.5 times that higher regular rate.
No. Each FLSA workweek stands alone for overtime calculations, and hours may not be averaged over two or more workweeks to avoid overtime. A biweekly paycheck can contain two separate weekly calculations. If week one has 38 hours and week two has 46 hours, only week two has 6 overtime hours.
Confirm whether the worker is covered and nonexempt. Executive, administrative, and professional exemptions generally require at least $684 per week on a salary or fee basis plus the applicable duties test. Computer employees can use the $684 weekly salary or fee basis, or at least $27.63 per hour, plus the computer duties test. Job titles alone do not determine exempt status.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime pay merely because work occurs on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest. The federal trigger is hours worked over 40 in the workweek unless another law, employer policy, contract, or union agreement applies. Holiday or vacation pay for time not worked is generally set by agreement, policy, or contract.
Everhour timecards give managers daily, weekly, and monthly work-hour totals for payroll review. Teams can compare project hours with working hours, review Team Hours, export timecard data, and use normal-hours highlighting to spot totals that need review before payroll.
Use Everhour timecards to review weekly hours, compare work totals, export payroll data, and keep Delaware overtime checks tied to approved records.
