Your reading is correct. You qualify for 1.5x your salary for the overtime on the 6th day (being more than 40 per workweek) and double-overtime on the 7th day (more than 40 per workweek and 7 days in any given workweek). California is the only state that does this, just so you know. But I have good memories of my first Christmas season in retail.

You qualify for 1.5x for every hour you work, over 40 hours per work week (Sun-Sat), according to the Feds. Unless California offers a better deal...
It depends on when you work started. If you work week started Sunday, but you had Sun, Mon and Tues off, started your 7 days on Tueesday, you're not going to get any overtime. You'd only put in 40 hours Tue-Sat, then the next week starts.
Some employers are bastards and exploit that little loophole in the law.

Depending upon what type of employee you are (salary, exempt, regular full-time, etc.) generally speaking (this means, if you are an hourly full-time employee), you would begin to earn 1.5 pay rate when you hit 40 hours for the week. I do not know about the 2x rate -- that usually only occurred for me, when I worked > 12 hours in 1 day.

If they were all in the same week, then yes.
But... if you worked the last 3 days of one week, and the first 4 days of the next week, then no. As long as it doesn't total up to more than 40 hours in either week, there's no overtime involved.

i don't know the laws in California, but 1.5 is normal for ALL hours over 40. unless you have a contract that says you'll be paid double time for Sunday i don't see how you'll get it.
I've been a union member for about 40 years and have had jobs that said Sunday was double time, but as a general rule it's time and a half for all overtime.

no. depending on when the pay period runs you would be eligible for time and a half for the last two days. double time for holidays. but say the end of the pay period is friday. if you begin this seven day stretch on monday, you will have only five days in for the week and the last two on the following week. employers often screw people out of overtime in this way.

i think it is anything over 40 hours (so your sith and seventh day) is overtime(1.5x). I believe you have to work over 12 hours for doubletime(2x)
