OT40 | Overtime Protection

What is OT40? OT40 — Overtime Protection after the 40th Hour — is a simple, practical policy that ensures workers keep more of what they earn by eliminating state income tax on wages earned after the 40th hour of work. It protects overtime pay, rewards hard work, and helps boost local economies. Where has it worked? Alabama passed OT40 with unanimous, bipartisan support in both chambers of the state legislature. Despite political divisions, lawmakers came together to pass this commonsense policy because they recognized its impact: thousands of workers benefiting, communities growing stronger, and no partisan gridlock. Why does it matter? OT40 is more than a paycheck policy — it's proof that when we focus on practical solutions, we can cut through division and deliver real results for working families. In tough economic times, every dollar counts. By protecting overtime pay and eliminating taxes on wages earned after the 40th hour, we reward hard work and keep local communities thriving. What’s next? The success in Alabama shows OT40 works. It’s time to bring this same, bipartisan solution to other states — and ensure working Americans everywhere get the fair pay they’ve earned.
