Освобождение от оплаты сверхурочной работы: FAQ по удерживаемому налогу

Какие сверхурочные работы считаются освобожденными от работы?

  • Overtime pay received beginning on or after October 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
  • The exempt overtime pay shall be based on the employee’s overtime computed in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
  • For employers governed by the National Railway Labor Act, the exempt overtime pay is based on the overtime compensation as stated in relevant collective bargaining agreements.

For withholding tax purposes, only wages subject to Alabama withholding are used in calculating the overtime. This applies both to employees who are residents of Alabama and to employees who are non-residents.

  • If an Alabama employee (resident) works in multiple states which require withholding would the overtime exemption apply to those wages?

For an Alabama resident, wages earned in another state which is subject to the other state’s withholding tax are not Alabama wages subject to Alabama withholding tax. Since the wages are not Alabama wages subject to Alabama withholding tax, the exemption would not apply in this case.   

  • If a non-resident is earning wages while in Alabama, would the overtime exemption apply?

If the wages are considered Alabama wages subject to Alabama withholding tax, any wages which would be considered overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act would qualify whether earned by a resident or a non-resident.  

  • Does paid time off count toward the 40 hour work week?

No, paid time off does not count toward overtime. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), sick time, vacation time, or anytime an employee is not physically working does not count as time worked.

  • Will an hourly part time or seasonal employee qualify for exempt overtime wages? 

Yes, wages earned which qualify as overtime according to the Fair Labor Standards Act will qualify for exemption and reporting purposes if earned by an hourly part time or seasonal employee.

  • Will an amount of overtime earned on or before June 30, 2025, but paid after this date qualify for exemption?

No, amount must be received/paid prior to June 30, 2025, to qualify for the exemption and reporting purposes.

  • For reporting purposes, if an employee receives exempt overtime wages multiple times within a reporting period, (ex: paid weekly and receives overtime 4 times within the monthly reporting period) is the employee reported once for the period or multiple times?

The employee is only reported once for each reporting period regardless of the frequency of overtime paid to them. There is a distinct employee count for each reporting period. Each employee who receives overtime for the reporting period is included only once in the report.
