REGULAR RATE
Generally, the regular rate includes all payments made by the employer to or on behalf of the employee (except certain statutory exclusions). The regular rate is determined by adding together the employee’s pay for the workweek and all other earnings and dividing the total by the number of hours the employee worked in that week.
