Understanding Florida Overtime Law
Federal FLSA Governs Overtime
Florida does not have a separate state overtime statute. Overtime in Florida is governed entirely by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), requiring 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Florida does, however, have its own minimum wage law, which sets a higher floor than the federal minimum.
No Daily Overtime or Double Time
Florida has no daily overtime threshold and no double time requirement. Overtime is calculated solely on a weekly basis. Workers in Florida earning above the state minimum wage receive overtime at 1.5× their actual hourly rate, not 1.5× the minimum wage.
Florida's Higher Minimum Wage
Florida's minimum wage is higher than the federal rate and increases annually based on a constitutional amendment passed in 2020. This higher minimum wage directly impacts overtime calculations — your overtime rate of 1.5× is based on your actual hourly rate, which must meet or exceed Florida's minimum.

Common Questions About Overtime Pay
No. Florida relies on the federal FLSA for overtime requirements. The 40-hour weekly threshold and 1.5× rate apply to non-exempt employees. Florida does enforce its own minimum wage, which affects the base rate for overtime.
Your overtime rate is 1.5× your regular hourly rate, which must be at least the Florida minimum wage. As Florida's minimum wage increases each year, so does the minimum overtime rate for workers earning the base wage.
Most seasonal and tourism workers in Florida are non-exempt and entitled to overtime after 40 hours per week. Some amusement or recreational establishment employees may be exempt under FLSA Section 13(a)(3) if the business meets specific criteria.
Since Florida does not have a state overtime law, overtime complaints are handled by the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. You can file online or contact the regional DOL office serving Florida.
