Overtime rules in Missouri
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. No daily overtime.
Missouri follows the 40-hour weekly rule (some retail/service exemptions apply).
Because Missouri 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 — Missouri is not one of them.
Missouri overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Missouri minimum wage of $15.00, an overtime
hour is worth $22.50. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($600.00) + 5 overtime (5 × $15.00 × 1.5 = $112.50) = $712.50 gross. Earn more than minimum
