Calculating FLSA Overtime

Calculating FLSA Overtime

Calculating FLSA overtime is a laborious task which you can skip! Just let ShopClock do it for you.

The process of calculating FLSA Overtime is made up of many small error prone calculations. First each time card session (when the employee punches in and out) is converted from hours and minutes to decimal hours so that they can be tallied. If the session extends from one day to the next (say 8pm to 4 am), it must be broken into two sessions so that the time for each day can be correctly calculated.

FLSA (Fail Labor Standard Act) Overtime is based on a work week which usually goes from Sunday to Saturday, but ShopClock can be set to use any day of the week as the first day of the work week.


If you use a monthly or semimonthly pay period the work week will often be divided between two pay periods. In this case time from the previous pay period needs to be considered in the overtime calculations of the first work week in the current pay period.

And usually all these calculations are made under pressure of a deadline because you're trying to get payroll out.

The solution to all this error prone drudge work is easy. Let ShopClock calculate FLSA overtime for you..
