Overtime hours — which the Department of Labor considers any hours worked outside a full-time, 40-hour week — aren't taxed more. When running hourly payroll, you'll withhold the same taxes from an employee's overtime wages that you would from their regular wages.
In summary, the key provisions of the Act on minimum rest and maximum working time are as follows: maximum average net weekly working time of 48 hours. a daily rest break of 11 consecutive hours. rest breaks while at work. a weekly rest break of 24 consecutive hours. maximum average night working of 8 hours.
