Calculation Breakdown
Florida Overtime Rules
Florida does not have its own state overtime law. Florida employers must follow the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA):
- 1.5 times the regular rate for all hours over 40 in a workweek
- No daily overtime
- No double time
- No additional state-level protections beyond federal law

No State Income Tax
Like Texas, Florida has no state income tax. Your overtime pay is only subject to federal income tax (potentially reduced by the 2026 "No Tax on Overtime" deduction) and FICA taxes.
Florida Minimum Wage
Florida's minimum wage is adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index, per a 2020 constitutional amendment. Check the Florida DEO for the current rate. Overtime is calculated on the employee's actual regular rate, not the minimum wage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Florida require employers to pay overtime?
Florida itself does not mandate overtime, but the federal FLSA applies to most employers in Florida. Covered non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× pay for hours over 40/week. Most employers with annual revenue over $500,000 or engaged in interstate commerce are covered.
Are farmworkers in Florida entitled to overtime?
Agricultural workers have a specific exemption under the FLSA. Small farm operations (fewer than 500 man-days of labor) may be exempt. Large agricultural employers generally must pay overtime. This is a complex area — consult the DOL's agriculture page.
Can Florida employers offer comp time instead of overtime?
Private-sector employers cannot substitute comp time for overtime pay. Only public-sector (government) employees can receive comp time under the FLSA. Private employers must pay the overtime premium in wages.
