Here's what you get — a real example generated by the tool:

## Overtime Compliance Report — California — Week of March 10-16, 2026 ## Per-Employee Breakdown | Employee | Hourly Rate | Regular Hrs | OT Hrs (1.5x) | DT Hrs (2x) | Regular Pay | OT Pay | DT Pay | Total Pay | Flag | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Maria Lopez | $22.50 | 33 | 7 | 0 | $742.50 | $236.25 | $0.00 | $978.75 | REVIEW | | James Carter | $19.00 | 32 | 10 | 2 | $608.00 | $285.00 | $76.00 | $969.00 | HIGH RISK | | Aisha Khan | $26.00 | 40 | 8 | 0 | $1040.00 | $312.00 | $0.00 | $1352.00 | REVIEW | ## Summary | Metric | Value | | --- | --- | | Total Employees | 3 | | Employees with Overtime Risk | 3 | | Employees with Double-Time Risk | 1 | | Total Overtime + Double-Time Liability | $909.25 | ## Compliance Notes James Carter triggered California double-time on Thursday (12+ hours in a single workday) — this is the violation most employers miss because they only track weekly totals. Maria Lopez and Aisha Khan both qualify for daily overtime on multiple days even though neither exceeded 40 hours for the week, since any day over 8 hours triggers 1.5x regardless of the weekly total. Review payroll records now — unpaid daily overtime is the single most common wage claim trigger in California.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file format do I get?

A professional .xlsx Excel spreadsheet with a per-employee overtime breakdown, a summary table, and compliance notes specific to your state. Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.

Which states does this cover?

California, Alaska, Colorado, and Nevada — the states with daily overtime rules beyond the federal 40-hour standard. Select 'Other' for standard federal FLSA weekly overtime only.

Why is this different from a generic overtime calculator?

Most free calculators only apply the federal rule: overtime after 40 hours per week. They miss California's daily overtime (over 8 hours/day) and double-time (over 12 hours/day), which cause the most underpayment claims. This tool applies the correct state-specific thresholds automatically.

Why is this cheaper than payroll software?

Full payroll platforms charge $40-100/month to get correct overtime calculations as a side feature. This tool does just the overtime math, correctly, for a one-time payment of €17.99 — no subscription, no account.

How fast do I get my report?

Within 30 seconds of payment. You'll see the results on screen and can download the Excel file immediately.

Is this legal advice?

No. This tool calculates overtime pay based on published state wage-and-hour thresholds and is intended to help you estimate liability and flag risk. For disputed claims or complex situations, consult an employment attorney.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If the compliance report doesn't match your needs, contact us within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund.
