Remote Employee Time Tracking and Overtime

Remote employee overtime often turns on one practical question: were all hours actually worked recorded and paid?

Covered non-exempt remote employees generally must be paid for work the employer knows or has reason to know is being performed, even if the work happens outside the office.

What remote workers should track

• Start and stop times for each workday.
• Off-hours calls, emails, chats, and project work.
• Meal breaks that were skipped, interrupted, or shortened.
• Work performed across state lines or during travel.

Calculate the overtime

Once the hours are recorded, use the time and a half calculator for federal weekly overtime or select the right state from the state overtime calculator hub.
