This calculation answers how much overtime pay is due to a covered, nonexempt Mississippi employee for one fixed workweek. Mississippi has no separate daily overtime threshold, so the governing FLSA standard applies overtime on a workweek basis rather than after a set number of hours in a day. The main inputs are total hours worked, regular rate, and whether the worker is covered and nonexempt.
The result gives you regular pay, overtime hours, overtime rate, overtime premium pay, and gross wages for the week. It does not decide whether a person is exempt. Executive, administrative, and professional exemptions generally require pay on a salary or fee basis of at least $684 per week plus the applicable duties test; job titles alone do not determine exempt status.
Covered, nonexempt Mississippi employees follow the FLSA rule requiring overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The FLSA workweek is a fixed, recurring period of 168 hours, or seven consecutive 24-hour periods, and hours may not be averaged over multiple weeks to avoid overtime. A 38-hour week followed by a 46-hour week still creates 6 overtime hours in the second week.
Mississippi has no state minimum wage law; employers covered by the FLSA must pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. At that federal floor, time-and-a-half overtime is $10.875, commonly rounded to $10.88 per hour. The FLSA does not require extra overtime pay solely for Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular rest days, so those premiums come from policy, contract, or CBA.
For a simple hourly case, assume a covered nonexempt Mississippi employee works 49 hours in one fixed FLSA workweek at a $27.20 regular hourly rate. Regular hours are capped at 40. Overtime hours are 9. The overtime rate is $27.20 × 1.5 = $40.80. Regular pay is 40 × $27.20 = $1,088.00, and overtime pay is 9 × $40.80 = $367.20.
Total gross pay for that week is $1,088.00 + $367.20 = $1,455.20. For salaried, commissioned, piece-rate, or blended-rate weeks, the regular rate is total includable pay divided by hours worked, with multiple straight-time rates weighted across all jobs worked in that week. Do that regular-rate step before applying the 1.5x overtime multiplier.
A one-off calculator is enough when you have a clean hourly rate, one workweek, and already-approved hours. It is also enough for a quick check when a Mississippi employee worked over 40 hours and no policy, contract, or CBA adds a weekend, holiday, or double-time premium. Keep the source timesheet with the calculation so payroll can trace the total.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when hours come from project tools, timecards, approvals, or billable work. Everhour integrates with major project management and accounting tools, embeds tracking controls in supported workflows, syncs project and task metadata, and exposes timesheets and budgets inside work tools. That gives payroll and billing reviewers one place to check approved overtime inputs before amounts move forward.

No. Mississippi has no separate daily overtime threshold. Covered, nonexempt Mississippi employees use the FLSA workweek rule, which requires overtime for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek. A 12-hour day does not create overtime by itself unless total workweek hours exceed 40 or a policy, contract, or CBA says otherwise.
Mississippi has no state minimum wage law, so employers covered by the FLSA must pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. At that wage floor, time-and-a-half equals $10.875 per overtime hour, commonly rounded to $10.88. Higher regular rates produce higher overtime rates because the multiplier applies to the employee's regular rate.
No. The FLSA workweek is a fixed, recurring 168-hour period, and each workweek stands alone. An employer cannot average a 35-hour week and a 45-hour week into two 40-hour weeks to avoid overtime. For covered nonexempt employees, the 45-hour week includes 5 overtime hours.
Not under the FLSA by themselves. The FLSA does not require extra overtime pay solely for Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular rest days. Any Mississippi double-time, holiday premium, or weekend premium comes from an employer policy, employment contract, or collective bargaining agreement unless another applicable rule provides greater rights.
DOL lists MDES as Mississippi's state labor office, but federal FLSA minimum wage and overtime enforcement runs through the Wage and Hour Division, including its Jackson District Office at 601-965-4347. Use that channel for federal covered nonexempt overtime questions, classification issues, and wage-and-hour enforcement guidance.
Everhour embeds time tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and others, then syncs project and task metadata into one reporting layer. That keeps approved Mississippi overtime inputs tied to the work context where the hours were recorded.
Everhour timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for review, and managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from regular member edits, giving payroll reviewers a clearer record before overtime pay is calculated.
Track approved hours inside connected work tools, then review Mississippi overtime inputs before payroll or billing handoff with Everhour integrations.
