State & Federal Laws Regarding Overtime
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is the federal law that regulates overtime hours and pay. California overtime law also regulates this matter.
In general, you must be paid time and a half in the following situations:
- Working beyond 8 hours in a day
- Working more than 40 hours per week
- Working on the 7th consecutive day of a week
You must be paid double time for the following:
- Working more than 12 hours in one day
- Working more than 8 hours on the 7th consecutive day of a week
Several categories of employees are exempt from these laws, meaning that the laws do not apply to them. Exempt employees include executives, administrators, managers, outside sales people, and workers in specific industries, such as actors, taxi drivers, airline employees, ambulance drivers, agricultural workers, personal attendants, camp counselors, and more. Contractors/contracted workers may also be exempted from overtime.
Disputes may revolve around whether you are exempt under the law or the actual number of hours worked in a given day or week. A Northridge overtime violation lawyer at K2 Employment Law can review all of the details regarding your case to determine if your overtime rights have been violated.
