All 22 verifiable claims verified against Tier-1 sources: FLSA § 7 (Cornell LII), the five modeled state overtime statutes (California Labor Code § 510, Alaska AS § 23.10.060, Nevada NRS § 608.018, Colorado COMPS Order 39 / 7 CCR 1103-1, Kentucky KRS § 337.050), and the controlling DOL + state DOR guidance pages. The fourteen modeled-data thresholds across federal + five states (daily-OT thresholds, double-time threshold, 7th-day premium flags, and the weekly 40-hour standard applied uniformly) match the underlying statutes. The Nevada wage-conditional rule is intentionally treated as always-applying with the limitation documented in "What's not modeled."
10 claims
Federal weekly-overtime threshold — 40 hours
Tool's data layer — FEDERAL.weeklyOtThresholdHours = 40
California daily overtime threshold — 8 hours (1.5× after)
Tool's data layer — California dailyOtThresholdHours = 8
California double-time threshold — 12 hours (2× after)
Tool's data layer — California doubleTimeThresholdHours = 12
The statute reads "in excess of 12 hours" (strictly greater than 12). The tool's Math.max(0, hours - state.doubleTimeThresholdHours) produces non-zero only when hours > 12, matching the statute's "in excess of" language.
California 7th-consecutive-day premium — 1.5× for first 8 hours, 2× after the 8th hour
Tool's data layer — California seventhDayPremium = true; computation in computeDailyHours branches CA-specific to "first 8h at 1.5×, then 2×"
§ 510(a) is structured as 1.5× for the first 8 hours of the 7th day plus 2× thereafter. The DIR FAQ confirms the operational reading.
California weekly OT threshold — 40 hours
Tool's data layer — California weeklyOtThresholdHours = 40
California's daily-OT rule sits on top of the FLSA-compatible weekly 40-hour rule. Daily and weekly hours are not double-counted for the same hour, matching the "greater of daily or weekly" reading the tool implements.
Alaska daily OT threshold — 8 hours (1.5× after)
Tool's data layer — Alaska dailyOtThresholdHours = 8
The Voluntary Flex Plan exemption (4×10 schedules) is documented in the methodology's "What's modeled" line and intentionally not modeled in the math.
Nevada daily OT threshold — 8 hours (1.5× after; wage-conditional but treated as always-applying)
Tool's data layer — Nevada dailyOtThresholdHours = 8
The statute's wage-conditional gating is the well-known Nevada nuance: workers earning ≥ 1.5× state minimum wage (~$18/hr in 2026) are subject to weekly-only OT, not daily OT. The tool intentionally treats Nevada as always-daily-OT to avoid an additional input; the methodology page surfaces the simplification explicitly under "What the calculation assumes" with guidance to pick "Federal" for high-wage Nevada workers. The constant matches the wage-conditional threshold accurately.
Colorado daily OT threshold — 12 hours (1.5× after)
Tool's data layer — Colorado dailyOtThresholdHours = 12
The statute includes both "12 hours per workday" and "12 consecutive hours" tests; the tool models the per-workday version, which is the simpler and more commonly-triggered branch. The methodology documents both branches.
Kentucky 7th-consecutive-day premium — 1.5× for all hours worked on the 7th day; no double-time
Tool's data layer — Kentucky seventhDayPremium = true; KY-specific branch in computeDailyHours returns all hours at 1.5×
KRS § 337.050 distinguishes KY's 7th-day rule from California's: KY is 1.5× for all hours on the 7th day (no double-time), CA is 1.5× for first 8 hours plus 2× thereafter. The tool's branching encodes both correctly.
Weekly OT threshold (Alaska / Nevada / Colorado / Kentucky) — 40 hours
Tool's data layer — all five states use weeklyOtThresholdHours = 40

7 claims
FLSA § 7(a) — "longer than forty hours" at "not less than one and one-half times the regular rate"
Methodology § "What's modeled" (federal baseline)
Cal. Lab. Code § 510 — daily OT, double-time, 7th-day premium structure
Methodology § "Data sources" + § "What's modeled"
California "greater of daily or weekly" rule — never both for the same hour
Methodology § "What the calculator computes" + tool's applyWeeklyOt implementation
Alaska AS § 23.10.060 — daily 8-hour + weekly 40-hour OT structure
Methodology § "What's modeled"
Nevada NRS § 608.018 — wage-conditional daily OT for workers earning less than 1.5× state minimum wage
Methodology § "What's modeled" + § "What the calculation assumes"
Colorado 7 CCR 1103-1 (COMPS Order) — 1.5× after 12 hours in a workday OR 12 consecutive hours
Methodology § "What's modeled"
Kentucky KRS § 337.050 — 1.5× for all hours on the 7th consecutive day of any workweek
Methodology § "What's modeled" + § "Data sources"
1 claim
44 of 50 states follow the federal weekly 40-hour rule (no daily OT, no double-time, no 7th-day premium)
Methodology § "What's not modeled (and why)" — "State rules not meaningfully different from federal"
DOL state-labor-law tracker + per-state DOR pages; cross-verified against the cluster article overtime-rules-by-state
Several states have industry-specific rules (manufacturing, healthcare, public works) layered on top of the federal default; the tool's "general-population rules" scope intentionally excludes those.
