It is up to the employee and employer to work out how many hours you are going to work. California law merely states that if you work more than 8 hours, you need to get time and a half.

Yes.
The labor laws in Cali are so vague that when this has been challenged in the courts in the past, the businesses win except for extreme cases... like making someone work 60 hours or not paying them the required time and a half.
I'd suggest writing your congressional members for a more set standard on this issue.

You can go over the varying areas of California Labor Laws there.
