This calculation answers how much overtime pay is due when a covered nonexempt employee in Texas works more than 40 hours in one fixed seven-day workweek. Texas follows the FLSA rule that covered non-exempt employees generally earn overtime only for hours worked over 40 in a seven-day workweek, paid at time-and-a-half of the employee's regular rate.
The output is usually three figures: regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross wages for the workweek. The calculation does not decide whether a worker is exempt, whether a bonus must be included in the regular rate, or whether a contract creates a higher premium. Those items must be resolved before the arithmetic is final.
Neither Texas nor federal law requires daily overtime. A covered nonexempt employee can work 10 hours on Monday and 6 hours on Tuesday without overtime if total hours for the fixed workweek do not exceed 40. Weekend or holiday work also does not create federal premium pay by itself unless those hours push the employee over 40.
The Texas Payday Law focuses on timing and manner of wage payments, deductions, wage claims, and collection of wage judgments. Texas wage-payment claims are handled by the Texas Workforce Commission Labor Law Section, while FLSA overtime and exemption rules are administered federally by the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
For a single hourly rate, multiply the first 40 hours by the regular rate, then multiply overtime hours by 1.5 times that regular rate. Example: a covered nonexempt Texas warehouse employee works 49 hours in one fixed FLSA workweek at a $25.50 regular rate. Regular pay is 40 × $25.50 = $1,020.00.
The overtime rate is $25.50 × 1.5 = $38.25. The employee worked 9 overtime hours, so overtime pay is 9 × $38.25 = $344.25. Total gross pay for the workweek is $1,020.00 + $344.25 = $1,364.25. Do not average a 35-hour week and a 49-hour week to avoid overtime.
A calculator is enough for a one-off Texas check when the employee has one hourly rate, no bonus or shift differential, and a clear weekly total. It also works for confirming whether a weekend schedule actually crossed 40 hours. Keep the fixed 168-hour workweek consistent, because moving the week boundary changes the result.
A managed workflow is needed when multiple people submit time, managers approve corrections, payroll needs an audit trail, or overtime trends must be reviewed before wages are processed. Everhour Reporting can show overtime data in Team Hours and configurable reports, giving admins a repeatable review layer instead of a disconnected manual calculation.

No. Neither Texas nor federal law requires daily overtime. For covered nonexempt employees, Texas follows the FLSA weekly rule: overtime is generally due only for hours worked over 40 in a fixed seven-day workweek, unless a more generous contract, policy, or other applicable rule applies.
Texas wage-payment claims are handled by the Texas Workforce Commission Labor Law Section. The Texas Payday Law focuses on wages paid in full and on time, deductions, wage claims, and collection of wage judgments. Federal FLSA overtime and exemption rules are administered by the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
No. FLSA overtime must be calculated week by week. Each fixed 168-hour workweek stands alone, and hours may not be averaged over two or more workweeks to avoid overtime. A 49-hour week creates 9 overtime hours even if the next week has fewer than 40 hours.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime or premium pay merely for Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest. For covered nonexempt employees in Texas, the federal trigger is more than 40 hours worked in the workweek unless an employer policy, contract, union agreement, or more protective rule provides extra pay.
The common mistake is treating a job title as enough to make someone exempt. The standard executive, administrative, and professional exemptions require duties tests and salary-basis pay of at least $684 per week. The computer-employee exemption can use that $684 weekly salary basis or $27.63 per hour. Outside-sales employees qualify under duties and location tests.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, filters, exports, and scheduled email delivery. When overtime tracking is enabled, overtime and double-overtime data can appear in Team Hours and configurable reports for payroll review.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person so managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is locked for regular members, which helps preserve the reviewed record before payroll, billing, or reporting uses it.
Use Everhour Reporting to review overtime in Team Hours and configurable reports, then export the approved data for payroll checks with clearer weekly overtime visibility.
