If you run an hourly crew in Indiana, two questions come up every payroll: how much do you owe once someone crosses into overtime, and are you following the state's rules. Indiana uses the federal 40-hour rule, so any hour past 40 in a workweek is paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. Indiana follows the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

Indiana wage and hour rules
Here's the short version of the rules an hourly Indiana employer runs into. Each figure has a source below, and the rules change over time, so confirm anything you rely on with the state.
$7.25 per hour, effective July 24, 2009, the same as the federal rate. Indiana has its own state minimum wage law, which applies to employers of 2 or more employees. Employers covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act pay the federal $7.25, and Indiana requires employers not covered by the FLSA to pay the state minimum of $7.25. Tipped employees may be paid a cash wage of $2.13 per hour with a tip credit of up to $5.12, as long as tips bring total pay to at least $7.25. An employee counts as tipped when they receive more than $30 a month in tips.
1.5x the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. This applies under the federal FLSA for covered employers, and Indiana requires the same time and a half after 40 hours a week from employers not covered by the FLSA.
None. Indiana overtime is weekly only, owed on hours over 40 in a workweek. Working more than 8 hours in a day does not by itself trigger overtime.
The Indiana Department of Labor states that Indiana law does not require employers to provide adult employees lunch breaks or other breaks. The only state break rule covers minors: workers under 18 must get one or two rest breaks totaling at least 30 minutes when scheduled to work at least 6 consecutive hours (Indiana Code Title 20, Article 33, Chapter 3).
The minor rule above (one or two breaks totaling at least 30 minutes for workers under 18 scheduled at least 6 consecutive hours) is the only state break requirement.
The Indiana Department of Labor states that final wages must be paid on or before the next regularly scheduled payday on which the employee would normally have been paid had the employee stayed employed. The department gives this one rule for all final wages.

Track Indiana 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 it 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 Indiana 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.
