California Revises Overtime Law

The Compensation Unit has received a number of calls from employees inquiring about changes to the law requiring that overtime be paid at the rate of time and one-half for time worked in excess of 8 hours per day in California. The University of California is not subject to the California State overtime regulations. Therefore, this revised State overtime law has no impact for UCI employees.

UC policies and union contracts were written to conform to the Federal overtime laws regarding payment of overtime as provided under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Overtime provisions provided in current Staff Member Personnel Policies and bargaining agreements remain in effect.
