Georgia Overtime Pay Rules & Regulations

In the state of Georgia, overtime pay regulations follow the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Georgia state labor law does not specify a higher state overtime rate, meaning federal standard guidelines apply to non-exempt employees working in Georgia.

How Overtime is Calculated in Georgia

Under FLSA guidelines in Georgia, covered non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. Overtime hours are compensated at a minimum rate of 1.5 times (time and a half) the worker's regular hourly rate.

$$\text{Overtime Rate} = \text{Regular Hourly Wage} \times 1.5$$

$$\text{Total Weekly Gross Pay} = (\text{Regular Hours} \times \text{Regular Rate}) + (\text{Overtime Hours} \times \text{Overtime Rate}) + \text{Tips}$$

Tipped Employees in Georgia

Georgia allows employers to take a tip credit against the minimum wage for tipped employees. However, when calculating overtime pay for tipped workers, the 1.5x overtime multiplier must be applied to the full regular minimum wage before subtracting the tip credit.
