How Is Overtime Calculated in Minnesota?
October 27, 2026
Divide the includable pay for your workweek by the total hours you worked to find your regular rate. Overtime hours have to be compensated at 1-1/2 times that rate, and where straight-time pay for those hours is already included in the week’s earnings, the additional premium still owed is one-half the regular rate. The threshold is 40 hours under federal law and 48 hours under Minnesota law.
