Why Biweekly Overtime Is Evaluated Per Workweek
For U.S. federal FLSA examples, covered, nonexempt employees are generally evaluated for overtime by individual workweek rather than by averaging hours across a two-week pay period. For instance, an employee working 50 hours in Week 1 and 30 hours in Week 2 is evaluated on each week separately, yielding 10 overtime hours in Week 1 even though the two-week total equals 80 hours. This calculator computes overtime on each week separately.

Why 80 Hours Does Not Mean Zero Overtime in Federal Examples
For U.S. federal FLSA examples, covered, nonexempt employees are generally evaluated for overtime by individual workweek rather than by averaging hours across a two-week pay period. Under federal guidance, each 7-day workweek stands alone for overtime evaluation.
If an employee logs 45 hours in Week 1 and 35 hours in Week 2, under federal rules for covered, nonexempt workers, 5 hours of overtime are earned in Week 1, even though their two-week total is 80 hours. State laws, collective agreements, exemptions, and individual employment arrangements may differ.
An hourly employee works 46 hours in Week 1 and 34 hours in Week 2 at $20.00/hour.
- •Week 1: 40 regular hours + 6 overtime hours. Week 1 Pay = (40 × $20) + (6 × $30) = $800 + $180 = $980.00.
- •Week 2: 34 regular hours + 0 overtime hours. Week 2 Pay = 34 × $20 = $680.00.
- •Combined period: 74 regular hours, 6 overtime hours, 80 total hours.
- •Total gross earnings = $980.00 + $680.00 = $1,660.00 (not $1,600.00 as a flat 80-hour calculation would produce).
Frequent Calculation Mistakes
- ✕Averaging overtime across 80 hours for the two-week period instead of evaluating each individual 7-day workweek where per-workweek rules apply.
- ✕Losing track of shift dates when spanning month boundaries in biweekly cycles.
Questions & Answers
Does an 80-hour biweekly total automatically mean no overtime?
Not necessarily. For U.S. federal FLSA examples, covered, nonexempt employees are generally evaluated by individual workweek. If an employee worked 48 hours in Week 1 and 32 in Week 2, they generally earn 8 hours of overtime for Week 1 under federal rules, even though total hours equal 80. State laws and employment agreements may vary.
Can I customize the overtime threshold per week?
Yes. You can adjust the weekly threshold from 40 hours to any custom value (e.g. 37.5, 35, or 44 hours) to match your collective bargaining agreement or company policy.
