Understanding Kansas Overtime Law

46-Hour Weekly Threshold

Kansas uses a 46-hour weekly threshold for overtime in certain industries. Employees who work more than 46 hours in a workweek are entitled to 1.5× pay for hours beyond 46. This is higher than the federal 40-hour threshold.

FLSA Coverage

Employees covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are still entitled to overtime after 40 hours per week regardless of Kansas law. The 46-hour rule applies to employees who are not covered by the FLSA but are covered by Kansas state law.

No Daily Threshold

Kansas does not have a daily overtime threshold. Overtime is based solely on weekly hours.
