In CA, labor laws require OT be paid to "non-exempt" (i.e. typically workers paid hourly) employees for:
Any hours worked over 8 per day at 1 1/2 times regular pay rate
Any hours worked over 40 per week at 1 1/2 times regular pay rate
The first 8 hours on the 7th consecutive day worked at 1 1/2 times regular pay rate
Any work in excess of 12 hours per day at 2 times regular rate
Any work in excess of 8 hours on the 7th consecutive day at 2 times regular rate
If you are not being properly paid any overtime due you, you can file a wage claim with the Department of Indusrtial Relations and/or sue your employer in small claims court.
