County Personnel Administrators Association of California (CPAAC) Fall Conference | September 29, 2016
Presented by: Lisa S. Charbonneau

FLORES: REGULAR RATE
IMPACTS

Background: The Regular Rate 3

Basic Overtime Pay Calculation
• Chris earns $20/hour and works 44 hours in

his 40-hour/7-day work period.
• How much is Chris owed for the week?

$20.00 = hourly base rate/44 hours worked
40 x $20.00 = $800.00
4 x $20 x 1.5 = $120.00
$920.00

Background: Regular Rate of Pay
Calculation

Chris is also paid $80 per week in bilingual pay.

1. Multiply total hours worked times base: 44 x $20 = $880.00
2. Add $80 bilingual pay for the week: $880 + $80 = $960.00
3. Calculate the regular rate by dividing total amount earned by

total hours worked: $960/44 hours = $21.81
FLSA Regular Rate of Pay = $21.81

Note: For employees paid on a salary basis, the regular rate calculation may
be different. The method of calculation should be evaluated prior to
implementation.
