Overtime rules in Kansas
State law requires 1.5× after 46 hours/week; the federal 40-hour rule covers most employees.
Kansas's state threshold is 46 hours, but employees covered by the federal FLSA get overtime after 40.
Because Kansas 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 — Kansas is not one of them.
Kansas overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Kansas 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

Time-and-a-half — 1.5× your regular hourly rate — for qualifying overtime hours. For example, $20/hour becomes $30/hour for each overtime hour. Kansas does not require double time under state law.
Do salaried employees in Kansas get overtime?
