Biweekly Timesheet Calculator
Track a full two-week pay period with proper FLSA overtime. This calculator computes overtime for each 7-day workweek separately—not averaged across the 14 days.
Example: 45 hours in week 1 + 35 hours in week 2 = 5 hours overtime (from week 1), even though the total is 80 hours.
FAQ
How is overtime calculated on a biweekly timesheet?
Under FLSA, overtime is calculated per 7-day workweek, not averaged. If you work 45 hours in week 1 and 35 in week 2, you earn 5 hours OT from week 1—even though your total is 80.
Why can't overtime be averaged over two weeks?
The FLSA requires overtime pay for each workweek individually. Employers cannot average hours across multiple weeks to avoid paying overtime, regardless of pay period length.
What do the week 1 and week 2 totals show?
The summary shows hours worked in each 7-day week separately, so you can see exactly where overtime comes from. Hours over 40 in either week are overtime at 1.5×.
