My mistake, I totally missed that part of the question. I'm in the state of California. I read on www.dir.ca.gov that states " [an employee] 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."
so is it if I work more than 8 hrs per workday AND/OR more than 40 hours a workweek I should get overtime paid?
