Overtime rules in Georgia
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek (federal FLSA). No state daily overtime.
Georgia defers to the federal FLSA for overtime.
Because Georgia 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 — Georgia is not one of them.
Georgia overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Georgia minimum wage of $7.25, an overtime
hour is worth $10.88. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($290.00) + 5 overtime (5 × $7.25 × 1.5 = $54.38) = $344.38 gross. Earn more than minimum
wage? Put your own rate into the calculator above.
