Prevailing wage overtime rules can be complex. Contractors are required to pay the proper prevailing wage rates on public works projects, including overtime. Here are a few example rules related to overtime:

• All work over 8 hours per day earns time and a half the base rate
• All work over 40 hours per week earns time and a half
• All work over 12 hours per day earns double time
• Weekends and qualifying holidays require overtime for all hours worked
• Shift differentials may apply
