How Virginia overtime pay is calculated

What this calculation answers

A Virginia overtime calculation answers how much extra pay is due when a covered nonexempt employee works more than 40 hours in one fixed workweek. Virginia overtime applies at not less than one and one-half times the employee's regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, and the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry enforces the Virginia Overtime Wage Act.

The output is the employee's regular pay, overtime hours, overtime rate, overtime premium, and total gross pay for the workweek. The calculation is not based on a two-week pay period average. Under the FLSA, each fixed 168-hour workweek stands alone, and hours may not be averaged across workweeks to avoid overtime.

Virginia thresholds and common mistakes

Virginia's overtime rule is keyed to hours worked over 40 in a workweek, not to hours worked in a day. There is no separate Virginia daily overtime or double-time threshold. A 10-hour day does not create overtime by itself if the covered nonexempt employee stays at 40 or fewer total hours in the fixed workweek.

For minimum-wage workers, the 2026 Virginia minimum wage is $12.77 per hour. The minimum overtime rate for a nonexempt employee earning that wage is $19.16 per overtime hour when rounded to the nearest cent. Federal law also does not require extra pay merely for Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular rest days unless those hours push the workweek over 40 or another policy, contract, or law applies.

Formula and worked example

Start with hours worked in the fixed workweek. Separate the first 40 hours from hours over 40, then multiply the overtime hours by 1.5 times the regular rate. For a simple hourly employee, the formula is: regular pay equals 40 hours times the regular hourly rate, overtime pay equals overtime hours times the regular hourly rate times 1.5, and total gross pay equals both amounts added together.

Example: a covered nonexempt Virginia employee works 44 hours in one fixed workweek at a $28.40 regular hourly rate. Regular pay is 40 × $28.40 = $1,136.00. The overtime rate is $28.40 × 1.5 = $42.60. Overtime pay is 4 × $42.60 = $170.40. Total gross pay for the workweek is $1,306.40.

When a calculator is enough

A calculator is enough for a one-time check when the employee has one hourly rate, no unusual pay items, and a clear weekly hour total. It also works for quick reviews of Virginia minimum-wage overtime, where the 2026 minimum overtime rate is $19.16 per overtime hour for covered nonexempt employees earning $12.77 per hour.

Use a managed workflow when overtime affects payroll review, client billing, approvals, or repeat reporting. Everhour Reporting can surface overtime in Team Hours and custom reports, with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, exports, and scheduled email delivery. That creates a record of reviewed time instead of leaving the calculation in a standalone note or spreadsheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Virginia require overtime after 40 hours in a week?

Yes. Virginia overtime applies at not less than one and one-half times the employee's regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The rule applies to covered nonexempt employees. Exemptions, worker classification, and includable pay items must be checked before treating an employee as overtime-eligible.

Does Virginia have daily overtime or double time?

No. Virginia has no separate daily overtime or double-time threshold. The state rule is keyed to hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Federal FLSA rules also do not require overtime solely because work occurs on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular rest days.

How do you calculate the regular rate in Virginia?

Virginia applies FLSA overtime calculation methods. Under the FLSA, the regular rate generally includes all remuneration except statutory exclusions and is computed from total pay for the workweek divided by hours actually worked. If an employee earns multiple rates in the same week, weighted-average treatment can apply.

What is the 2026 Virginia minimum overtime rate?

For a nonexempt employee earning the 2026 Virginia minimum wage, the minimum overtime rate is $19.16 per overtime hour. That figure comes from 1.5 times the $12.77 Virginia hourly minimum wage, rounded to the nearest cent. Higher regular rates produce higher overtime rates.

Can Virginia employers average two workweeks for overtime?

No. Under the FLSA baseline used in Virginia overtime calculations, each fixed 168-hour workweek stands alone. An employer cannot average a 48-hour week with a 32-hour week to erase the 8 overtime hours from the first week.

How does Everhour Reporting help review Virginia overtime?

Everhour Reporting can show overtime through Team Hours and custom reports. Managers can use columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports to review overtime by person, project, or period before payroll or billing work uses the approved numbers.

How does Everhour help keep overtime records consistent?

Everhour Timesheets let employees submit weekly time for approval, and managers can approve, reject, or partially approve entries before payroll review. Submitted and approved time is locked for regular members, which keeps reviewed overtime records from changing after approval.

Track overtime with reviewed reports

Move from one-off math to reviewed overtime records. Everhour Reporting organizes overtime visibility, filters, exports, and scheduled reports so payroll and billing reviews use consistent approved time.
