Tennessee Overtime Pay Laws. There is no state laws governing the payment of overtime, however federal laws do apply that are set by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA creates two classifications of workers for purpose of overtime wages. The two classifications are exempt and non-exempt.
Overtime. By law, employers pay overtime at a rate of 1.5 times employees' normal pay for labor exceeding 40 hours during the course of a week. The Fair Labor Standards Act specifically cites 40 hours as the overtime threshold. A part-time employee whose workweek is 20 hours, and who puts in 25 hours one week, would not have a right to five hours of overtime compensation. The employee's status as a part-time employee is irrelevant; the only factor is total hours worked.
