If you run an hourly crew in Florida, two questions come up every payroll: how much do you owe once someone crosses into overtime, and are you following the state's rules. Florida uses the federal 40-hour rule, so any hour past 40 in a workweek is paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. The Florida minimum wage is $14.00 an hour. This page gives you a free Florida overtime calculator, a plain summary of the state's wage and hour rules, and a look at how Clox tracks your crew's hours.

Florida wage and hour rules
Here's the short version of the rules an hourly Florida employer runs into. Each figure has a source below, and the rules change over time, so confirm anything you rely on with the state.
$14.00/hr until September 30, 2026, then $15.00/hr (tipped $11.98/hr). Florida raises its minimum wage on September 30, not January 1, under the 2020 constitutional Amendment 2. Tipped cash wage: $10.98/hr through Sept 29, 2026, then $11.98/hr. No local/employer-size variants (Florida preempts local minimum wages).
1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Florida has no state overtime statute and defers entirely to the federal FLSA.
None. Florida has no daily overtime and no double-time requirement; overtime is weekly (over 40 hours) only. One old statute is worth knowing: under FS 448.01, 10 hours is a legal day's work for manual labor, and a worker is owed extra pay for hours beyond that in a day unless a written agreement says otherwise.
Minors under 16 must get a 30-minute unpaid meal break when working more than 4 continuous hours. Under HB 49 (effective July 1, 2024), 16 and 17 year olds must get the 30-minute break only on days they work 8 hours or more (Fla. Stat. 450.081). (Federal FLSA: breaks of 5 to 20 minutes, if given, are paid.)
Final wages are due on the next regular scheduled payday.

Rates verified August 2026. Florida raises its minimum wage on September 30, not January 1, so the $14.00 rate holds through September 29, 2026 and rises to $15.00 (tipped $11.98) on September 30, 2026. Future increases are indexed to CPI beginning in 2027. This is general information, not legal or payroll advice.

Track Florida hours accurately with Clox
A calculator is only as accurate as the hours you put into it. Clox is time tracking built for field and trade crews, so your crew's hours are recorded accurately in the first place, then the overtime is figured for you.
- Your crew clocks in with one tap on their phone, and it works offline, so a dead zone on the job doesn't lose a punch.
- Lock clock-in to a geofenced worksite so a punch has to happen on site. It's a strong deterrent, not a foolproof guarantee, because the location comes from the phone.
- Overtime is calculated automatically on the Florida weekly-40 rule, so you're not doing this math by hand every Friday.
- Export payroll-ready files for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, and Paychex when the week is done.
If your crew moves between addresses during the day, settle how you handle drive time between job sites before you run the numbers. Those hours can count toward the weekly total, and leaving them untracked understates the overtime you owe.
