It depends on your state and by firm. I’m in Chicago.
Generally overtime is anything after 40 hours for the week. A week is typically Sunday-Saturday but some firms do this Monday-Sunday.
I’ve also worked at firms that have a 37.5 hour work week so anything after this is considered overtime.
If you’re starting a new job you should ask your supervisor or someone in HR so you know how it works where you are.
40+
If you work 37.5, the next 2.5 hours is straight time, then OT kicks in after 40.
