Overtime rules in Connecticut
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek (state and federal). No daily overtime.
Connecticut has a higher state minimum wage but uses the 40-hour weekly overtime rule.
Because Connecticut has no daily-overtime rule, only your weekly total matters: hours over 40 in the workweek are paid at 1.5×. A handful of states (California, Alaska, Colorado, Nevada) add daily overtime on top of this — Connecticut is not one of them.
Connecticut overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Connecticut minimum wage of $16.94, an overtime
hour is worth $25.41. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($677.60) + 5 overtime (5 × $16.94 × 1.5 = $127.05) = $804.65 gross. Earn more than minimum
wage? Put your own rate into the calculator above.
