The Overtime Pay Requirements

29 CFR 778.106 - Time of payment.

  • Section Number: 778.106
  • Section Name: Time of payment. 
    There is no requirement in the Act that overtime compensation be 
paid weekly. The general rule is that overtime compensation earned in a 
particular workweek must be paid on the regular pay day for the period 
in which such workweek ends. When the correct amount of overtime 
compensation cannot be determined until some time after the regular pay 
period, however, the requirements of the Act will be satisfied if the 
employer pays the excess overtime compensation as soon after the regular 
pay period as is practicable. Payment may not be delayed for a period 
longer than is reasonably necessary for the employer to compute and 
arrange for payment of the amount due and in no event may payment be 
delayed beyond the next payday after such computation can be made. Where 
retroactive wage increases are made, retroactive overtime compensation 
is due at the time the increase is paid, as discussed in Sec. 778.303. 
For a discussion of overtime payments due because of increases by way of 
bonuses, see Sec. 778.209.
