Understanding Minnesota Overtime Law
48-Hour Weekly Threshold
Minnesota uses a 48-hour weekly threshold for overtime in certain industries. Employees who work more than 48 hours in a workweek are entitled to 1.5× pay for hours beyond 48. This is higher than the federal 40-hour standard.
FLSA Coverage
Employees covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) receive overtime after 40 hours per week. The 48-hour rule applies to employees not covered by the FLSA but covered by Minnesota state law.
No Daily Overtime
Minnesota does not have a daily overtime threshold. Overtime is calculated based on weekly hours only.
