Frequently asked questions
How is overtime calculated in Florida?
Florida follows the federal FLSA rule: hours worked over 40 in a workweek are paid at time and a half — 1.5× the employee's regular hourly rate. Florida has no daily-overtime requirement of its own, so overtime is based on the weekly total, not the length of any single day. This calculator applies that rule automatically.
Does overtime count per day or per week?
Per workweek. Under the federal FLSA, overtime applies after 40 hours in a workweek, and Florida has no daily-overtime requirement — so one long day does not trigger overtime by itself. What matters is whether the week's total goes past 40 hours.
What does an employee really cost beyond wages?
More than the paycheck. On top of gross wages, employers pay FICA payroll tax of 7.65% (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare), plus federal and state unemployment tax and workers' comp, which vary by business. Turn on the employer cost estimate in the calculator to see the FICA line — it's an estimate for planning, not tax advice.
How do I track crew hours accurately?
A calculator is only as good as the hours you feed it, and handwritten timesheets or end-of-week guesses are where payroll mistakes start. The most reliable fix is a time clock that records actual start and stop times in the field. TimeStream Pro clocks your crew in and out with GPS and builds payroll automatically, so the hours in this calculator match what really happened on the job.
