In the state of California, overtime laws apply to employees who worked over eight hours a workday or for more than 40 hours a week. Some specific overtime pay rules will apply to employees who work 7 days a week. Hours worked beyond 40 must be paid time and a half. Even in cases when the employee agreed to a lower overtime rate, he or she is entitled to receive the full legal amount as stated in the agreement.
