Option A: 46 h/week for Exempt Employees
Option B: 40 Hours per Week for Non-Exempt Employees
Off: This option to be used if you do not want to calculate overtime.8 Hours per day: Any hours over 8 hours in a day are OT1.10 Hours per day: Any hours over 10 hours in a day are OT1.40 Hours per week: Any hours over 40 hours in a work week are OT1.44 Hours per week: Any hours over 44 hours in a work week are OT1.46 Hours per week: Any hours over 46 hours in a work week are OT1.48 Hours per week: Any hours over 48 hours in a work week are OT1.40 h/week AND Sunday: Any hours over 40 hours in a work week are OT1 AND Sunday is always OT1 even if the employee did not accumulate 40 hours during other days. Hours worked on Sunday do NOT count toward the accumulation of hours needed for weekly OT1. 8 h/day OR 40 h/week: If the work week has more than 40 total hours OT1 is calculated the same as ’40 hours per week’. If the workweek has 40 or less total hours, OT1 is calculated as ‘8 hours per day’. This option will start accumulating weekly OT1 on the day after 40 hours are worked, thus the option may yield more than 40 regular work hours in a week. 8 h/day AND 40 h/week: Any hours over 8 hours in a day are considered OT1.Once the total work week hours reaches 40, all hours are considered OT1. This option will start accumulating weekly OT1 on the day after 40 hours are worked, thus the option may yield more than 40 regular work hours in a week. 8 h/day THEN 40 h/week: Any hours over 8 hours in a day are OT1. Once 40 regular hours are worked, all hours are moved to OT1. This option will start accumulating weekly OT1 on the day 40 hours are worked, thus the option will never yield more than 40 regular work hours in a week.12 h/day AND 40 h/week: Any hours over 12 hours in a day are considered OT1.Once the total work week hours reaches 40, all hours are considered OT1. This option will start accumulating weekly OT1 on the day after 40 hours are worked, thus the option may yield more than 40 regular work hours in a week. California: Overtime for hours worked after 8 hours per day and up to and including 12 hours per day, and Double time for hours worked after 12 hours per day, and Overtime for hours worked after 40 straight hours per week, and Applying 7th day rules, on the seventh consecutive day of work in a single work week, we calculate Overtime for the first 8 hours worked, and Double time for any additional hours more than 8 on the 7th day.
