Illinois Overtime Laws & Calculation Rules

Under the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (820 ILCS 105/) and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees in Illinois are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Overtime must be paid at a rate not less than 1.5 times (time and a half) the worker's regular hourly rate.

How Illinois Overtime Pay is Calculated

Calculating weekly overtime involves determining regular pay, overtime hours, and adjusting for bonuses when applicable.

• Standard Threshold: Overtime begins after 40 hours worked within a 7-day workweek.
• Overtime Pay Rate: Regular Hourly Wage × Overtime Multiplier (1.5x for standard overtime).
• Nondiscretionary Bonuses: Under FLSA rules, performance bonuses or commissions earned during the workweek must be included when calculating the regular pay rate for overtime.

Illinois One Day Rest in Seven Act (ODRISA)
