This calculation answers how much overtime pay is due for a covered nonexempt Idaho employee in one fixed workweek. Idaho follows the federal FLSA rule requiring overtime for non-exempt employees for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The overtime rate is at least 1.5x the employee's regular rate, not a flat bonus or separate allowance.
Idaho has no separate daily overtime threshold, so a 10-hour day does not create overtime by itself. The trigger is total hours worked over 40 in the seven-day workweek. The Idaho Department of Labor Wage and Hour Section enforces Idaho minimum wage and wage-payment laws, while FLSA overtime provisions are handled through the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
Start with total hours actually worked in the fixed workweek. Under the FLSA, that workweek is 168 hours, or seven consecutive 24-hour periods, and each workweek stands alone. For a single-rate Idaho example, assume a covered nonexempt employee works 48 hours in one fixed workweek at a $27.50 regular rate.
Regular pay covers the first 40 hours: 40 × $27.50 = $1,100.00. Overtime covers the remaining 8 hours at 1.5 × $27.50, or $41.25 per overtime hour. That overtime pay is 8 × $41.25 = $330.00, making total gross pay $1,430.00 before taxes, deductions, benefit withholdings, or other payroll adjustments.
Do not average two Idaho workweeks together. If an employee works 48 hours one week and 32 hours the next, the first week still has 8 overtime hours. The lower second week does not erase the overtime owed in the first week. This is a common mistake when payroll is processed biweekly but overtime is calculated weekly.
Do not add double time unless a policy, contract, or collective bargaining agreement requires it. Neither Idaho nor the FLSA creates a general 2x overtime rule for long days, weekends, holidays, or rest days. Idaho's minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, so a minimum-wage Idaho employee has a 1.5x overtime rate of $10.875 per hour, normally rounded to $10.88.
A one-off calculation is enough when you have one employee, one regular rate, one fixed workweek, and a clean total of hours worked. It is also enough for a quick check of whether Idaho's workweek-only overtime rule was applied correctly. Keep the employee category clear, because exempt status depends on duties and pay rules, not job title alone.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when overtime approvals, corrected time entries, payroll handoff, billing review, or audit history matter. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, let users submit time for approval, and let admins approve, reject, partially approve, or lock entries before the numbers move into payroll or client billing.

No. Idaho has no separate daily overtime threshold. For covered nonexempt employees, Idaho follows the federal FLSA workweek rule: overtime is due for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, at at least 1.5x the regular rate. A long day matters only when it contributes to more than 40 total hours in that workweek.
The Idaho Department of Labor Wage and Hour Section handles Idaho minimum wage and wage-payment laws. Idaho directs employers to the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for FLSA overtime provisions. For a practical payroll calculation, use Idaho's state wage facts plus the federal covered nonexempt overtime rule.
No. A biweekly payroll schedule does not change the overtime workweek. The FLSA workweek is a fixed 168-hour period made of seven consecutive 24-hour periods, and overtime cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks. Calculate each workweek separately, then combine the resulting pay amounts for the payroll period.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime pay merely because work occurs on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest. Idaho does not create a general double-time rule for those days. Weekend or holiday premiums come from an employer policy, contract, collective bargaining agreement, or another applicable rule.
Exempt employees are not calculated the same way as covered nonexempt employees. Executive, administrative, and professional employees generally need the required duties plus salary or fee compensation of at least $684 per week to qualify for the FLSA white-collar overtime exemption. Computer employees can qualify at $684 per week or $27.63 per hour if the duties test is met.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours so managers can review time before payroll or billing. Employees can submit time for approval, and admins can approve, reject, partially approve, or lock entries, which keeps Idaho workweek overtime checks tied to reviewed time records.
Use approved weekly timesheets before payroll so Idaho overtime checks are based on reviewed hours, locked entries, and a clear handoff. Everhour Timesheets support that review before payroll or billing.
