## Quick answer

## Frequently Asked Questions

Decimal hours express time as a single number: 7.5 means 7 hours 30 minutes. This is used in payroll systems and spreadsheets. H:MM format (7:30) is used for display. To convert: multiply the decimal part by 60. So 7.25 hours = 7h 15m (0.25 x 60 = 15).
US: FLSA requires 1.5x pay for hours over 40/week for non-exempt workers. UK: No statutory overtime rate, but workers must average national minimum wage. Germany: Overtime typically paid at 25-50% premium per collective agreement. Australia: Fair Work awards usually require 1.5x for first 2 hours overtime, then 2x.
