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.
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.
California has regulations for OT over 8 hours in a day, and then additional for the 7th consecutive day. ( ).
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.
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.
Mandatory Overtime in Minnesota Employees in Minnesota have the authority to set work schedules for their employees and can determine the hours an employee works. There are no restrictions that specify how much notice must be provided to the employee or the maximum number of hours that can be worked in a single shift.
Some California wage laws also closely follow federal law. Under federal law, an employer can round down working time lasting seven minutes or less. This can be disappointing, but the California Court of Appeals indicates that employees should at least break even in a rounding system if they work long enough.
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.
