Are You Owed Overtime? The 2026 State Map
AI answer boxes can tell you the federal 40-hour rule in one sentence — but they cannot tell you whether your specific job is exempt, or what your state adds on top. This page is the personalized go-no-go: run the three-question test, then check your state.
Go / No-Go: Am I Owed Overtime?
- Are you paid by the hour? → If yes, you are almost certainly non-exempt and owed 1.5× for every hour over 40 in the workweek. Go: you are owed OT.
- Are you salaried but earn under $684/week ($35,568/yr)? → If yes, you fail the FLSA salary test. Go: you are owed OT regardless of title.
- Are you salaried at/above $684/week AND do your duties meet the executive / administrative / professional test? → Both must be true. If your daily work is mostly routine or manual, you likely fail the duties test. No-Go on exemption → you are owed OT.
State overlay: if you work in California or qualifying Nevada jobs, daily overtime can be owed even inside a 40-hour week. Check the table below.
