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.
