Recover Your Unpaid Overtime in New Mexico

Overtime laws play a crucial role in ensuring fair compensation for employees who work beyond their regular hours. In New Mexico, understanding the regulations surrounding overtime is essential for both employers and employees. 

New Mexico's Overtime Pay: Understanding Time and a Half

In New Mexico, overtime pay is indeed calculated at a rate of time and a half. According to state law, covered nonexempt employees are entitled to receive overtime pay at a rate of not less than one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a week. This means that employers are required to pay their employees 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked beyond the 40-hour workweek.

Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employees: Overtime Eligibility in NM

In New Mexico, exempt employees may not be eligible for overtime pay under certain circumstances. Exempt employees are those who meet specific criteria outlined by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These criteria generally include executive, administrative, or professional employees who perform specific job duties and receive a salary that meets or exceeds the minimum salary threshold set by law.

However, it's essential to note that not all salaried employees are automatically exempt from overtime pay. To determine whether an employee is exempt or non-exempt, factors such as job responsibilities, salary level, and exemption category must be considered. If an employee meets the criteria for exemption, they may not be entitled to receive overtime pay.
