Overtime Compensation
State employees who are covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are eligible to receive overtime pay for hours worked beyond the 40-hour workweek. During FY 2010, approximately 69 percent of the executive branch workforce was eligible (FLSA-covered) for overtime.
Overtime is paid at time and one-half. Peak overtime occurs in summer and during winter holidays, particularly in 24-hour institutions and during seasonal workload peaks.
