Understanding Overtime in California
Federal Overtime Rules (FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that non-exempt employees receive overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. This applies to most hourly workers and some salaried employees who don't meet exemption criteria.
California Daily Overtime Rules
California has additional daily overtime requirements beyond the federal 40-hour weekly standard:
- Daily overtime (1.5x): Hours worked over 8 in a single day
- Double time (2x): Hours worked over 12 in a single day
- Weekly overtime: Still applies for hours over 40 in a workweek
Overtime Calculation Example
If you earn $20/hour and work 45 hours in a week in California:
- Regular pay: 40 hours × $20 = $800
- Overtime hours: 45 - 40 = 5 hours
- Overtime rate: $20 × 1.5 = $30/hour
- Overtime pay: 5 hours × $30 = $150
- Total gross pay: $800 + $150 = $950
