Don't tell me not to go to RPI because of the guy's English skills, lol. Update 2: Ohh no, I know the term candidate is common...
Iowa's overtime minimum wage is $10.88 per hour, one and a half times the regular Iowa minimum wage of $7.25. If you earn more then the Iowa minimum wage rate, you are entitled to at least 1.5 times your regular hourly wage for all overtime worked.
Overtime Pay. Overtime pay is 1Â½ times the employee's regular rate of pay. (This is often called time and a half.). For example, an employee who has a regular rate of $12.00 an hour will have an overtime rate of $18.00 an hour (12 Ã 1.5 = 18). Then the amount of overtime she worked is calculated: 50 hours â 44 hours = 6 hours of overtime. 2  Her overtime pay is calculated: 6 hours X $23.87 an hour = $143.22. 3  Sharon is entitled to $143.22 in overtime pay.
