Is overtime always paid at 1.5 times the regular rate?
Not always — 1.5×, or 'time and a half,' is common, but the multiplier depends on your employer, jurisdiction, and sometimes the type of work, such as holiday shifts that may use a different rate.
How is the 'effective hourly rate' different from my regular rate?
It blends regular and overtime pay across all hours worked in the period, so it's higher than your base rate whenever any overtime hours are included.
