Florida Overtime Laws 2026
Florida labor laws align with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). There is no requirement for daily overtime or double time pay.
Key FL Rules:
- Weekly Threshold: Overtime is paid at 1.5x for hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
- Minimum Wage: Florida's minimum wage is scheduled to increase annually until it reaches $15.00 in September 2026. Ensure your base rate complies with the current date.
- No Daily OT: Working 10 or 12 hours in a day is paid at the regular rate unless weekly hours exceed 40.
Calculation Example:
If you work 48 hours in Miami at $16/hr:
- Regular Pay: 40 hours × $16 = $640.00
- Overtime Rate: $16 × 1.5 = $24.00/hr
- Overtime Pay: 8 hours × $24 = $192.00
- Total Pay: $640 + $192 = $832.00
