How it’s worked out
On a 24-hour clock 6 AM is 6:00 and 5 PM is 17:00. 17:00 − 6:00 = 11:00. Take off any unpaid break, then divide leftover minutes by 60 for decimal hours.
A single 11-hour day is not overtime under federal law, which counts only hours over 40 in a workweek. In California, Alaska and (for lower-paid workers) Nevada, paid hours over 8 in a day earn 1.5×; see overtime rules by state.
