Overtime

fmoncayo

Due to the holiday crunch, we are planning to implement the 4x10 work schedule . In this case, are we obligated to pay daily overtime for employees who are schedule to work for more than 8 hours per day, but no more than 40 hours per week?.

Thanks for your help.

HRsage

Alternative workweeks are allowed in CA, but they have to be approved by the employees prior to implemation. An employer can propose an alternative workweek schedule but the employees must have a vote and it would have to be 2/3 majority in order to approve it.

This can be found in CA labor code section 510- 511. Hope that helps.

Scroll down to find the order for your industry. If there is none, then use Order No. 4 or 17. Make sure you use the lastest version, which is usually dated Janaury 1, 2003. Then check for the provisions on "Alternate Work Weeks."
