FAQ

Can an employer require an employee to work overtime? A. Yes, in general an employer may dictate the employee's work schedule and hours. Additionally, under most circumstances the employer may discipline an employee, up to and including termination, if the employee refuses to work scheduled overtime.

California has regulations for OT over 8 hours in a day, and then additional for the 7th consecutive day. ( ). You only have 6 work days shown, so the 7th day doesn't come into play. You have to also apply the Federal OT rules for 40 hours in a week.

However, there are a few factors that help identify an employee as exempt in the state of California. They include: The salary for an exempt worker should be at least two times that of the minimum wage as stipulated by the state. The duties of the employee must be white collar.

Exempt California employees must earn at least $58,240 a year, or double the state minimum wage, in order to be eligible for exempt status. At companies with 25 or fewer employees, the limit is $54,080 a year.

Employers must also pay double time for hours worked over 12 in a day, and for any work beyond eight hours on the seventh work day in a week. Most employees cannot work more than 40 hours per week or 8 hours per day.If they do, their employer must pay them 1.5 times their normal pay. You must pay employees overtime at least 1.5x the regular rate of pay for all hours over 40 in a given workweek. Part-time employees who work more than 40 hours per week are eligible to receive overtime pay (time and a half) and are also eligible for paid sick leave. A legal question exists when workers agree to a plank that reduces the rights that otherwise might be available to them under California common law. When Does Overtime Apply? If you are required to work a "short shift" or fewer hours than the scheduled alternative workweek, your employer must still pay you normal overtime. Part-time employees who work more than 40 hours per week are eligible to receive overtime pay (time and a half) and are also eligible for paid sick leave. In that case, your employer must use the greater of the 2 amounts to calculate overtime payments.
