Unspecified Salaried Hours
For salaried unspecified hours, FLSA Rate uses actual hours worked and multiplication factor of .5:
-
FLSA Rate = (Regular Period Pay + Total Other FLSA Eligible Earnings) / Total Hours Worked.
-
FLSA Overtime Premium Pay = Overtime Hours × .5 × FLSA Rate.
If the employee is paid Monthly or Semimonthly, the Weekly Wage Equivalent needs to be calculated using the same formula as specified for Fixed Hours.
Note:
For salaried employees with unspecified hours, the system always ignores the FLSA Rule selected on the Company table and calculates overtime at the FLSA rate, even if it is lower than the contractual rate.
In the following example, Mary receives 1200 USD per month for however many hours her job requires, but she is entitled to overtime if she works more than 40 hours in a week. Her weekly wage equivalent is 276.92 USD (1200 USD × 12 / 52). She works three hours of overtime in week one and five hours of overtime in week three.

If Mary receives a bonus of 50 USD for week one, her FLSA hourly rate of pay for that week is 7.60 USD ((276.92 USD + 50 USD) / 43). The FLSA overtime premium is 11.40 USD (7.60 USD × 0.5 × 3). She receives overtime pay of 32.16 USD ((6.92 USD × 3) + 11.40).
