Overtime rules in New York
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. No daily overtime.
New York sets higher minimum wages in NYC, Long Island and Westchester, but overtime is the 40-hour weekly rule (residential "live-in" workers: after 44).
Because New York 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 — New York is not one of them.
New York overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the New York minimum wage of $16.00, an overtime
hour is worth $24.00. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($640.00) + 5 overtime (5 × $16.00 × 1.5 = $120.00) = $760.00 gross. Earn more than minimum
wage? Put your own rate into the calculator above.
