The difference between regular, overtime and holiday pay is as follows:
- Regular pay – A non-exempt employee’s regular rate of pay must not be less than the highest federal minimum wage, state minimum wage or local minimum wage in effect when work is performed.
- Overtime pay – As defined by the FLSA, overtime pay is 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay for each hour worked over 40 in a workweek. States may have their own overtime standards, which employers must follow.
- Holiday pay – Although not a federal requirement, some employers will offer their employees paid time off for holidays or pay them at higher rates for time worked on a holiday.
