Work Hours & Overtime Tracker
Enter a Monday–Sunday timesheet with clock in/out, unpaid breaks, and optional pay rates per shift. The engine applies the FLSA 40-hour workweek rule, adds state daily overtime where selected (CA, AK, NV, CO), and uses anti-pyramiding so hours are not double-counted as both daily and weekly OT. Weighted average regular rate drives estimated gross pay for blended rates.
Timesheet & settings
Used when a shift row leaves rate blank. Per-shift rates override for weighted average.
Hours & pay summary
Transparent breakdown: regular, daily vs weekly overtime at 1.5x, double time, and estimated gross using the blended regular rate.

How anti-pyramiding works here
Daily rules first split each day into daily regular hours (inside the state’s daily threshold), daily overtime at 1.5x, and in California double time after 12 hours. Those daily overtime hours are not counted again toward the 40-hour weekly bucket. Only the remaining daily-regular hours are summed; any amount over 40 becomes weekly overtime at 1.5x.
Weighted average rate (FLSA)
Total straight-time compensation (each shift’s hours × its rate) divided by total hours worked equals the regular rate used for overtime premiums in this estimate.
Worked example
If a California employee works 10 hours on Monday, 9 on Tuesday, 8 on Wednesday, 8 on Thursday, and 7 on Friday, the tracker first assigns daily overtime to the hours above 8 on Monday and Tuesday. It then totals the remaining daily-regular hours for the week and checks whether those hours push the employee above the 40-hour weekly threshold.
Use this page when you want a quick estimate before payroll review, when you need to compare a federal-only week against a state rule, or when different shift rates make the weighted regular rate harder to check manually.
Frequently asked questions
Does this overtime tracker replace payroll or legal advice?
No. It is an estimate tool for planning and checking hours. Final payroll treatment can change based on state rules, industry rules, contracts, and local requirements.
What does anti-pyramiding mean here?
Daily overtime hours are separated first. Those same hours are not counted again inside the weekly overtime bucket, which avoids double-counting.
When should I use the default hourly rate field?
Use the default rate when most shifts share one hourly rate. If a shift has a different rate, enter that shift-specific rate so the weighted average regular rate can be estimated more accurately.
