Employees who work overtime must be paid overtime.\u00a0 <\/span>Period. Employers who fail to pay their employees for overtime hours are committing wage theft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Employers in California are required to pay their employees at the correct overtime rate when their employees work overtime. Overtime in California is earned as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One and one-half times the employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours up to twelve (12) hours in any workday.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. One and one-half times the employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d for the first eight (8) hours worked on the seventh consecutive day in a workweek.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. One and one-half times the employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d for all hours worked in a workweek that exceed 40 hours. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Double the employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d for all hours worked in excess of twelve (12) hours in any workday.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Double the employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    An employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d or purposes of calculating overtime can be more than just his\/her hourly rate.\u00a0 <\/span>An employee\u2019s \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d includes various kinds of pay the employee receives, such as his\/her hourly rate, salary, piece work earnings, bonus, and commissions.\u00a0 <\/span>If an employee is paid an hourly rate and a commission, then his\/her \u201cregular rate of pay\u201d for purposes of overtime will be more than just his\/her hour rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    An employer must pay an employee for overtime hours at the correct overtime rate even if the employee worked overtime without authorization from the employer.\u00a0 <\/span>An employer is allowed to discipline an employee for working unauthorized overtime, but the employer may not fail to pay overtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Not all employees are entitled to overtime.\u00a0 <\/span>In California, there are a number of \u201cexemptions\u201d from the overtime law.\u00a0 <\/span>Thee will be discussed in the section titled \u201cMisclassification as Salaried Employee.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
