FAQ
Employees on a 9/8/80 schedule must work the schedule identified on their calendar, and may not alter their schedule in any way that results in the employee working more than 40 hours in a work week. No proposed AWWS schedule may result in a full-time employee working more than 40 hours in a work week.
California has regulations for OT over 8 hours in a day, and then additional for the 7th consecutive day. ( ).
The California Labor Code provides that workers get time and a half overtime when they work more than 8 hours in a workday, on the 7th straight day of the workweek, or over 40 hours in a workweek. A workweek is defined as 7 straight days designated by the employer as its workweek.
Regular, non-health care employees, are permitted, in California, to work four 10-hour shifts as a regular schedule. These employees will not earn daily overtime for those first 10 hours. This means that employees and employers can come to an agreement to create an alternative workweek.
Exempt employees are normally given what is referred to as “white-collar duties.” These include executive, administrative, or professional duties. We must, therefore, look at the duties an employee performs to determine if they are executive, administrative, or professional responsibilities.
If the employee worked more than 40 hours in the workweek, weekly overtime hours are calculated as total hours minus 40. For example, 44 total hours - 40 = 4 hours of weekly overtime due.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires most employers to give nonexempt employees overtime pay when they work extra hours. Any work in excess of 12 hours in one day shall be compensated at the rate of no less than twice the regular rate of pay for an employee.An employee may receive, in lieu of overtime compensation, compensating time off at a rate of not less than one and one-half hours for each hour of employment. Overtime wages are 1.5 times an employee's regular pay rate for each hour worked over 40 in a workweek. An eligible employee should receive overtime pay after working 8 hours in a single day. The FLSA states that all nonexempt employees are entitled to overtime pay for working over 40 hours in a workweek. The first eight hours worked in a workday are considered legal maximum regular hours, and any work beyond that constitutes overtime. In fact, California's labor laws are among the most progressive in the country.
