🕐 Overtime Rules
- • Rules vary by province/territory
- • Most provinces: 1.5x after 40-44 hours per week
- • BC, AB, MB and SK also have daily overtime rules (not modelled here)
- • Stat holiday: general holiday pay for the day + time-and-a-half for hours worked
📋 Important Notes
- • Managers may be exempt from overtime
- • Some industries have special rules
- • Check your employment agreement
- • This tool models the WEEKLY rule only — for daily overtime and BC double time, use the Overtime Pay calculator
Legal Notice: This calculator applies the weekly overtime rule only (1.5× over your province's weekly threshold). Provinces with a daily rule — BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the territories — may owe you more, and BC pays double time after 12 hours in a single day; those calculations need your hours per day. Actual entitlements also vary by industry, collective agreement and employment contract, and some employees are exempt. Consult your provincial labour ministry or an employment lawyer for specific situations.
