State guides
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. $14. 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 the hours behind those numbers.

Overtime is 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Florida follows the federal rule and has no daily overtime, so hours over 8 in a day do not trigger overtime on their own.
Florida minimum wage: $14.

Florida wage and hour rules
Here is 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.
Rule
What it says
Minimum wage
$14.00/hr in effect on Jan 1, 2026 (set effective Sept 30, 2025). Note: Florida raises its minimum wage on SEPTEMBER 30, not January 1, under the 2020 constitutional Amendment 2. It rises to $15.00/hr on Sept 30, 2026. Tipped cash wage: $10.98/hr through Sept 29, 2026, then $11.98/hr. No local/employer-size variants (Florida preempts local minimum wages).
Overtime
1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Florida has no state overtime statute and defers entirely to the federal FLSA.
Daily overtime
None. Florida has no daily overtime and no double-time requirement; overtime is weekly (over 40 hours) only.
Meal break
No state meal-break requirement for adult employees (18+). Only minors under 18 must get a 30-minute unpaid meal break when working more than 4 continuous hours. (Federal FLSA: breaks of 5-20 minutes, if given, are paid.)
Rest break
No state rest-break requirement for adults.
Final paycheck
No Florida statute setting a final-paycheck deadline. Final wages are due on the next regular scheduled payday.

CRITICAL: Unlike Northeast states, Florida's minimum wage changes on September 30, not January 1. The $14.00 rate is in effect on Jan 1, 2026 and holds through Sept 29, 2026; it increases to $15.00 on Sept 30, 2026 (the final step of Amendment 2). Beginning 2027, future increases are indexed to CPI. The official FloridaCommerce (floridajobs.org) page returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the state's own 2025 minimum wage announcement PDF (linked in sources) confirms the $14.00 rate effective Sept 30, 2025, and the constitutional schedule confirms $15.00 on Sept 30, 2026. Overtime, break, and final-paycheck items rely on the absence of Florida statutes (Florida defers to federal FLSA), corroborated across multiple legal/payroll references rather than a single primary statute page. This is general information, not legal or payroll advice. Check the Florida labor department for the current rules, and talk to a professional for your situation.
A calculator is only as good as the hours you feed it. Clox is time tracking built for field and trade crews, so the hours behind these numbers are captured 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 does not lose a punch.
Lock clock-in to a geofenced worksite so a punch has to happen on site. It is 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 are not doing this math by hand every Friday.
