A few questions first. They decide whether Takt's California overtime rules fit your job. Your answers and files stay in this browser.

Did you do this work in California?
Were you paid by the hour?
Was any of your pay piece rate or commission?

For example, pay per delivery, per item, or a percentage of sales.

Were you paid a salary or told you are exempt from overtime?
Was the work on a public works project (construction paid with public money)?
Is there a union contract that covers your job?
Did you work an alternative workweek schedule, like four 10-hour days that your workplace voted on?
Did your employer treat you as an independent contractor (1099)?
Does your job fall in one of these industries?

These have their own wage or overtime rules.

What day does your employer's workweek start?

It's often on your pay stub or in the handbook. Weekly overtime depends on it.
