Limitations: Arithmetic only. Does NOT encode FLSA exemption rules, state-specific overtime laws (CA's daily overtime, AK's daily OT), union contracts, or industry-specific regulations. Consult HR or a labor attorney for classification.

What to do next: US FLSA baseline: non-exempt employees earn 1.5× after 40 hours per workweek. California requires 1.5× after 8 hours per day AND 2× after 12 hours per day. Check your state's labor law for the actual rule.

Cost calculation only. This does not determine whether overtime applies — that's a classification question (exempt vs non-exempt) governed by federal and state labor law.
