Apply California’s standard overtime rules, with no alternative-workweek or other exception. A nonexempt employee works 13 hours at a regular rate of $20 per hour. What is the daily gross pay, ignoring weekly overtime?

Correct Answer

A) $320.

8 × $20 + 4 × $30 + 1 × $40 = $320. Paying all 13 hours at straight time gives $260; paying all at 1.5 times gives $390. The $300 alternative is not the required tiered sum. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Overtime.htm
