What is California Overtime Law?

Per California overtime law, you qualify for overtime if you are:

• A nonexempt employee 18 years of age or older
• A minor employee 16 or 17 years of age who is not required by law to attend school and is not otherwise prohibited by law from engaging in the subject work
• In a non-executive, non-administrative, non-professional job

Any qualified employee who works more than eight hours in any workday, or more than 40 hours in any work week, must receive:

• 1.5x the regular hourly rate if the overtime hours are:
  • All hours worked over eight hours in any workday and over 40 hours in the workweek
  • First 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work
• 2x the regular hourly rate if the overtime hours are:
  • All hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday
  • All hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a work week

There are exceptions from overtime laws, but the above apply in most cases. Evidently, California overtime can be a pain to compute. You, however, won’t need to worry about any of this when you use our free California overtime calculator.
