FAQ
In Pennsylvania, there is no specific legal limit on the number of hours an employee can work in a single day. However, employers are generally required to provide adequate rest periods and promote employee health and safety.
California has regulations for OT over 8 hours in a day, and then additional for the 7th consecutive day. ( ).
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.
All overtime is voluntary and may only be worked by agreement between employer and employee. Maximum permissible overtime is 3 hours on anyone day or 10 hours in any 1 week.
About the Law: If an employee does work for more than six days in a row, the first eight hours worked on the seventh day must be compensated at 1.5x the normal hourly wage. Any time worked beyond the first eight hours must be compensated at 2x the normal hourly wage.
Your employer may dictate your work schedule, and in some instances, that can include overtime hours. It is not uncommon for an employee to be terminated or seriously disciplined if they refuse to work overtime hours. Under California state law, employers have this right if an employee refuses to work overtime hours.
For each overtime hour worked you are entitled to an additional one-half the regular rate for hours requiring time and one-half, and to the full rate for hours requiring double time.

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. You have to pay 1.5x of the employee's base wage rate.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. If an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek they must be paid 1.5 times their base rate for all hours worked beyond 40 hours. Most workers in the United States are entitled to overtime pay, which should kick in after you clock in more than 40 hours worked in a given week. Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of one and one-half times their regular pay rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Overtime is 1½ times your normal pay. There is no limit in the Act on the number of hours employees aged 16 and older may work in any workweek. In fact, California's labor laws are among the most progressive in the country. The delays continue to this day.
