Does the state of Utah have overtime-pay statutes?

In Utah, the state does not have specific overtime-pay statutes that mandate overtime pay for all employees. Instead, Utah follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which establishes the guidelines for overtime pay. Under the FLSA, employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, but Utah itself does not have additional state laws that extend these provisions beyond what the federal law requires.

Other answers reflect scenarios that are not aligned with the state regulations. The statement about overtime pay applying to all employees is not accurate because certain workers may be exempt from overtime under both federal and state laws. The options indicating that only public or private employees are entitled to overtime pay do not hold, as the lack of state statutes means overtime pay depends on federal statutes alone, without further distinction made by state law. Therefore, the correct understanding is that Utah does not enforce its own overtime-pay statutes separate from federal law.
