It only counts as overtime pay if it was for work in excess of  40 hours per week.  Only the overtime premium (the "half" part of "time-and-a half") is deductible.  A hazard pay premium paid on overtime hours would not be deductible, unless the hazard premium was paid at time and a half (or double time).
