The Overtime Pay Requirements

29 CFR 778.101 - Maximum nonovertime hours.

  • Section Number: 778.101
  • Section Name: Maximum nonovertime hours. 
    As a general standard, section 7(a) of the Act provides 40 hours as 
the maximum number that an employee subject to its provisions may work 
for an employer in any workweek without receiving additional 
compensation at not less than the statutory rate for overtime. Hours 
worked in excess of the statutory maximum in any workweek are overtime 
hours under the statute; a workweek no longer than the prescribed 
maximum is a nonovertime workweek under the Act, to which the pay 
requirements of section 6 (minimum wage and equal pay) but not those of 
section 7(a) are applicable.
