Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 1.5x rate apply to weekend shifts automatically?
Not under federal FLSA law. Federal law only requires overtime pay when an employee works more than 40 hours during a designated 7-day workweek, regardless of whether hours are worked on weekends or holidays, unless specific union contracts or state laws (like California) apply.
How does California overtime law differ from federal law?
California mandates daily overtime: 1.5x regular pay for any hours worked beyond 8 in a single workday, and double time (2.0x) for hours worked beyond 12 in a single day or beyond 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work.
