New overtime thresholds will be phased-in as described above until they reach 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week by 2022 (for employers of more than 25 employees) or by 2025 (for employers of 25 or fewer employees).

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.

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.

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.

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.
