    yes you did and I actually overlooked that statement BUT it would appear that is applicable in this situation and you didn't flesh it out to the point that the OP understood that he is not eligible for overtime.

    It does appear his schedule would be an alternative schedule (at least by the info given) and that section that has been brushed over would apply.
    Agree - he has to be non-exempt & not working an alternative schedule for the OT over 8 hrs. a day to apply. Note: Alternative four 10-hr. day workweek is permitted if established prior to 7-1-99.

    That depends.

    If your employer has established an alternate work week under CA regs, you are not entitled to overtime since you are working 4 10 hour days and not going over 40 hours in a week.

    If your employer has not established an alternate work week under CA regs, you are entitled to overtime because you are working more than 8 hours in a day.

    Forget exempt and non-exempt for now. The percentage of exempt employees who can legally be paid on an hourly basis is so small it's not worth the bother. Unless you are doing something very, very high up in computers, if you're being paid hourly for a shipping company you're non-exempt.

    Don't ask us if your employer has established an alternate work week. There is no possible way for us to know that for certain. It can be assumed that they have, because if they're having you work 4 10 hour days they'd be idiots not to have, but the only way to tell FOR SURE is to ask them.
