Interpretations


29 CFR 548.501 - Overtime hours based on nonstatutory standards.

  • Section Number: 548.501
  • Section Name: Overtime hours based on nonstatutory standards.

    Many employees are paid daily overtime pay or Saturday overtime pay 
or overtime pay on a basis other than the statutory standard of overtime 
pay required by section 7(a) of the Act. In these cases, the number of 
hours for which an employee is paid at least one and one-half times an 
established basic rate must equal or exceed the number of hours worked 
in excess of the applicable number of hours established in section 7(a) 
of the Act in the workweek. However, only overtime hours under the 
employment agreement which also qualify as overtime hours under section 
7(e) (5), (6), or (7) of the Act 25  may be offset against 
the hours of work in excess of the applicable number of hours 
established in section 7(a) of the Act.
