Indiana overtime rules
Indiana overtime for non-exempt employees follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act:
- 1.5× the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.
- No daily overtime — a 12-hour shift is paid at your normal rate.
- No double-time requirement.
- Regular rate includes non-discretionary bonuses, commissions and shift differentials, not just base pay.

Who is entitled to overtime in Indiana?
Indiana uses the federal salary threshold of $684 a week ($35,568 a year) plus the duties test. Employees below that salary, or without genuine executive, administrative or professional duties, are non-exempt and owed overtime for every hour above the threshold.
Misclassification is most commonly challenged in retail supervision, hospitality, home care and construction crews paid per job rather than per hour.
