Is overtime daily or weekly?
Federal overtime is weekly: over 40 hours in a workweek. A few states, including California, also count daily overtime.
What if someone earns two different rates in a week?
Federal rules use a weighted average, the blended rate, for the overtime premium. The time card calculator handles one rate per employee today.
