Paid Overtime

Basically, work more hours than your standard daily working hours, you get over time (over time will be e.g if your on £7 an hour the over time rate will be an extra £3.50 ontop of that) and if you work longer than your week contracted hours of 37.5 or 40 hours, you get over time as above.

in my opinion, over time doesnt make an impact on your wage unless your doing atleast 10 hours of over time each week

It depends upon the laws of the state in which you are working. Most run with a 40 hour work week, but there are some that base it on an 8 hour work day, like California.

The laws are set by the individual states and they vary greatly. Some working shift work would allow a standardized cycle that would say this is a normal situation and have it at normal pay.

Others (California) base overtime on the hours per day, with exceptions for shift workers. Most set it by week, with some exceptions.

Worker's overtime rights are found in the federal law called the Fail Lavor Standards Act (FLSA) If a worker is paid by the hour, and is not exempt from the right to overtime, then the right to overtime is based on a 40-hour workweek. However, the employer can set the workweek to run starting from any day of the week, any hour of that day, as long as the workweek remains consistent. For example, the workweek could run from noon on Wednesday through 11.59 in the morning on Wednesday, if the employer chose this as the workweek, only the number of hours worked in the workweek is relevant under the FLSA. With the workweek rules under the Act, it could appear that an employer is not complying with the law of overtime after 40 hours in a week, when the employer is in full compliance. One must know the workweek established in order to determine hours worked per week. There is no bi- weekly allowance to avoid overtime payment on a weekly basis under the law. Overtime is payable to non-exempt employees after 40 hours in the established workweek.

What is the tax rate on bonuses?

The tax rate is exactly the same for bonuses or overtime as it is for every other paycheck you receive during the year. When you have a quarterly bonus or some such increase like this during the year it causes the withholding amount to increase. The reason for this is that the withholding tax tables are set based on your pay period (weekly, biweekly, monthly). Say you normally make $1000 every two weeks and you get a bonus of $1000 that is added to you pay check. The tax table assumes that the total of $2000 is your income for a two week period so it takes out a good deal more withholding that period. This makes people think the rates is higher for bonuses or overtime but it isn't. You tax return at the end of the year is based on your total income and it doesn't make any difference whether your paid weekly or get one check per year your tax is the same.
