One extra day is 1.5 day worth of pay for me.

I’ve been working 1 hour to 2 hours of overtime every day
I’m scheduled 7:00 to 3:30 we get a 30 minute lunch and I work 5 days a week so that’s 40 hours
Yet somehow I’m still only getting 42 hours 🙃

Overtime taxes?

For those that need to hear it.
OT is not taxed as extra. It’s treated the same as regular time income as far as taxes are concerned.
The reason you probably think it’s taxed more is because the software your employer uses takes your OT paycheck and extrapolates that over the year causing more to be withheld. You’ll get it back at the end of the year.
Or if you don’t want to wait until the end of the year, you can lower your withholding but then you risk possibly owing something at the end of the year.

I’m in California and I do not work overtime. In some cases I have walked away with a smaller paycheck after working overtime.

Please for the love of God learn how the US Federal income tax and numbers work. Please I’m sick of decades of dumbfucks saying the same completely wrong statements with such confidence.
