Payroll & Time Card Reference Guide

Essential labor guidelines regarding Federal vs California overtime, break compensation, and time rounding.

Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

  • Overtime triggers strictly after 40 regular hours in a single 7-day workweek.
  • Daily shifts of 10, 12, or 14 hours do NOT trigger daily overtime if total weekly hours remain under 40.
  • Overtime rate is calculated at 1.5× the non-exempt employee's regular rate of pay.
  • Bi-weekly averaging is prohibited: each 7-day workweek stands alone.

California Labor Code (Section 510)

  • Daily Overtime (1.5×): Applies to hours worked over 8 up to 12 in a single workday.
  • Daily Double Time (2.0×): Applies to all hours worked beyond 12 in a single workday.
  • Weekly Overtime (1.5×): Applies to hours over 40 regular hours in a workweek.
  • 7th Consecutive Day: First 8 hours on 7th day paid at 1.5×; hours over 8 paid at 2.0×.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime (1.5× regular pay rate) is calculated strictly on a weekly basis for all hours worked over 40 hours in a 7-day workweek, regardless of daily hours. In California, labor law mandates daily overtime: non-exempt employees earn 1.5× for hours worked beyond 8 up to 12 hours in a single workday, and 2.0× (double time) for hours exceeding 12 in a single day.
