It's All About Those Rates (Part I): Basic Rate of Pay - Lexology
In December, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division announced its revisions to certain provisions of the FLSA regulations addressing regular and basic rates of pay. One of those changes increased the viability of the use of basic rates, by increasing the tolerance level related to additional overtime pay from $0.50 per week to 40% of the applicable minimum wage. Below we discuss basic rates and the impact of this revision.
* * *
Ordinarily, under the FLSA, overtime pay must be paid at one-and-one-half times the employee’s “regular rate” of pay for the workweek in question. Regular rate requires that an employer total all remuneration (less authorized exclusions) and divide that total by the number of hours worked by the employee.
... Arizona's Minimum Wage Increased Nearly 10% on January 1, 2020.
How does this affect overtime pay? Arizona does not have a state-mandated overtime law of general application. But Arizona employers are subject to the federal overtime laws, meaning Arizona employers must provide overtime pay—namely, one and one-half times the base rate—for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. Thus, as of January 1, 2020, the minimum overtime wage for Arizona employees is $18.00 per hour, subject to local jurisdictional requirements.

Department of Labor Opinion Letters Provide Employers a Roadmap to FLSA Compliance | Akerman LLP
Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division issued two new opinion letters which clarify how employers should calculate the overtime rate when employees are paid lump-sum bonuses and when employers can pay consultants on a per project basis while avoiding overtime requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
* * *
Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid overtime at a rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a week. For purposes of calculating overtime pay, non-discretionary bonus payments received by employees must be included in the employee’s regular rate of pay.

House GOP retaliates against Wolf's overtime proposal | Pennsylvania Capital-Star
In a party-line vote, majority Republicans on the House Labor and Industry Committee voted Monday to pass a resolution expressing their opposition to the proposed regulatory move, which would give 143,000 workers who make less $45,500 a year time-and-a-half pay.
Unless approved by the General Assembly and agreed to by Wolf, the resolution will have no bearing on the state regulatory review panel 's decision at its Jan. 31 meeting. And if the resolution did pass, Wolf would be able to veto it.

DOL updates guidance on bonus, overtime calculations | HR Dive
While every situation is different, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) generally requires that nonexempt employees be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
DOL recently updated its regulations defining compensation that must be included in that regular rate calculation, addressing, among other things, criteria for determining whether a bonus is discretionary or nondiscretionary (and therefore an item that must be included in an employee's regular rate).

For most of the last century, good wages and overtime pay was a key standard of the American workforce. If you stayed late or worked weekends, you could expect to earn time-and-a-half pay. In the 1970s, more than 60 percent of salaried workers qualified for overtime. Unfortunately, today that number is as low as 7 percent .
