Employment: overtime compensation.

Existing law, with certain exceptions, establishes 8 hours as a day's work and a 40-hour workweek, and requires payment of prescribed overtime compensation for additional hours worked. Existing law authorizes the adoption, by 23 of employees in a work unit, of alternative workweek schedules providing for workdays no longer than 10 hours within a 40-hour workweek. This bill, until January 1, 2015, instead would establish 40 hours as a week's work and require payment of prescribed overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of 10 hours in one workday. The bill would also make conforming changes.
