# §553.232. Overtime pay requirements.


If a public agency pays employees subject to [section 7(k)](/cfr/29/7.md?p=k) for overtime hours worked in cash wages rather than compensatory time off, such wages must be paid at one and one-half times the employees' regular rates of pay. In addition, employees who have accrued the maximum 480 hours of compensatory time must be paid cash wages of time and one-half their regular rates of pay for overtime hours in excess of the maximum for the work period set forth in [§ 553.230](/cfr/29/553.230.md).
