Colorado 12-hour overtime and Code TT

Colorado overtime after 12 hours in a day or 12 consecutive hours is state overtime. It is not qualified overtime unless the workweek also passes 40 hours worked.

The Colorado rule

"Overtime: 1½ regular rate after 40 weekly hours, or 12 daily or consecutive (Rule 4)". (Colorado COMPS Order poster, effective 1 January 2026)

Example

Three 13-hour shifts at $22: 39 hours worked, 3 hours paid at 1.5x under Colorado law ($99.00 on the register), and Code TT of $0.00. (IRS FS-2026-13, Q16)
