FAQ
Utah is an employment-at-will state, which means that without a written employee contract, employees can be terminated for any reason at any time, provided that the reason is not discriminatory and that the employer is not retaliating against the employee for a rightful action.
California has regulations for OT over 8 hours in a day, and then additional for the 7th consecutive day. ( ).
Working more than 8 hours in a day offers the same overtime rate as over 40 hours in a week. Even if the employee works less than 40 hours in the week, long days provide additional compensation. If the long day extends to more than 12 hours, the rate increases to double the employee's regular hourly rate.
Forty-hour work week -- Overtime at one and one-half regular rate. Forty hours shall constitute a working week on all works and undertakings carried on by the state, county, or municipal governments, or by any officer of the state or of any county or municipal government.
Presently, no OSHA standard to regulate extended and unusual shifts in the workplace exists. A work period of eight consecutive hours over five days with at least eight hours of rest in between shifts defines a standard shift. Any shift that goes beyond this standard is considered to be extended or unusual.
Briefly explain the reason for the overtime request so they understand the context. Acknowledge that it may require flexibility on your part and express willingness to discuss scheduling. Close politely and offer to discuss further if needed. The tone should be respectful, appreciative, and flexible.
