First, I'm from California. I just started a job that's seasonal for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just a normal call center job but I work about 11 hours a day. I know I get 3 hours of overtime each day, but after the 4th day, that totals to 44 hours of work already. That's 12 hours of overtime, but in California you receive overtime for every hour over 40 hours worked in a week. That's so far 32 hours of normal pay and 12 hours of overtime. BUT if I work anymore that week, is every hour over that considered overtime, or do I have to put in 8 hours more of regular pay hours to make 40 hours of regular pay hours? Also, when is double pay other than more than 12 hours a day? And, if I continued to work 11 hours for the rest of the week (thats 7 days x 11 hours), how much would my paycheck be if I make $10 an hour without tax taken off?

Shouldn't I be concerned about the overtime for more than 8 hours a day?

Here is information from California Department of Industrial Relations regarding overtime:

In California, the general overtime provisions are that a nonexempt employee 18 years of age or older, or any 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, shall not be employed more than eight hours in any workday or more than 40 hours in any workweek unless he or she receives one and one-half times his or her regular rate of pay for all hours worked over eight hours in any workday and over 40 hours in the workweek. Eight hours of labor constitutes a day's work, and employment beyond eight hours in any workday or more than six days in any workweek is permissible provided the employee is compensated for the overtime at not less than:

1. One and one-half times the employee's regular rate or pay for all hours worked in excess of eight hours up to and including 12 hours in any workday, and for the first eight hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek; and
2. Double the employee's regular rate or pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.

There are, however, a number of exemptions from the overtime law. An "exemption" means that the overtime law does not apply to a particular classification of employees. There are also a number of exceptions to the general overtime law stated above. An "exception" means that overtime is paid to a certain classification of employees on a basis that differs from that stated above.

If you worked 7 days, 11 hours each day, that would be 77 hours. 40 would be straight time, and the other 37 would be overtime at time and a half. That would be 40*10 = $400 for the straight time and 37*15=$555 for the overtime, or $955 for the week.

Double time in California is paid for over 12 in a work day, and on the 7th consecutive day (normally Sunday) all other is 1 1/2 over 40 in a work week or over 8 in a work day.

In your example your would be paid 40 hours at $10.00/hour
26 at $15.00/hour and 11 at $20.00/hour

$400.00
$390.00
$220.00

$1,200.00
