FAQ

In general, salaried workers don't get overtime unless they are below a certain salary threshold. That's because these individuals are most likely considered exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act, a law dictating overtime and benefits access.

California has regulations for OT over 8 hours in a day, and then additional for the 7th consecutive day. ( ).

The standard definition of full-time hours in California is between 32 and 40 hours per week. However, it's important to note that after the implementation of the ACA, workers are considered part-time if they work less than 30 hours per week, and full-time if they work 30 hours a week or more.

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.

A “blended rate” is a rate of not less than 1.5 times the weighted average of all non-overtime rates used during that workweek. This type of payroll calculation is required when you have employees who perform different duties or tasks at different rates.

Apply the rules to all employees fairly and consistently. Publish the policy in an employee handbook. Provide advanced notice of when overtime will be needed. Be reasonable when employees have legitimate reasons for being unable to work.
