I've been double shifting this past week, and I was under the impression that if you accumulate more than 40 hours in that week those extra hours should be paid at 1.5x your regular pay rate. But everyone in my shift, including my area manager, say that you only get overtime pay if you work more than 8 hours in a day. My manager, told me that only full timers get overtime pay for working more than 40 hours a week.
I read the federal and my state's (CA) overtime laws and they seem very clear to me that anyone, not just full time employees, should get overtime pay for working more than 40 hours in a week.
Am I missing something here, or is everyone in my hub just plain wrong and ignorant?
