Does the state of Utah have overtime-pay statutes?

The state of Utah does not have specific overtime-pay statutes, which means that the general state law does not mandate overtime pay in the way that federal law does. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is a federal law, workers are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a week. However, since Utah does not have additional laws to enhance this entitlement, the absence of state-specific regulations leaves the FLSA as the governing law for overtime. As a result, only employers subject to the FLSA are required to provide overtime pay based on federal standards, and the state does not impose any further obligations.

Other options suggest varying levels of application of overtime laws, such as for all employees, or distinguishing between public and private sectors. However, the absence of specific state legislation concerning overtime pay clearly identifies that there is no distinct statute in Utah enforcing this requirement. Thus, the correct response is that there are no additional state statutes that govern overtime pay.
