I recently worked a 10.5 hour work day and am properly getting paid overtime for that shift. However my shift was from 5:00 AM to 3:15 AM and I was scheduled to come back in the morning at 9:00 AM and work until 5:00 AM. That makes it only 5.75 hours between shifts. I am not going to be getting any overtime for the 9:00 Am shift after only having 5.75 hours to myself and I was just wondering if I should be.
P.S. I work in California for a movie theater company as a manager. And I could've had a regular 8 hour shift but my G.M. made me stay.

I am assuming you are exempt and salaried as a manager, thus you do not have to be paid overtime. It is hard to say whether you are salaried or exempt based on your post.

Actually, no I am not salaried. I get paid a measly $7.50 per hour and if I deserve overtime I'm gonna demand that I recieve it. That 10 hour day was too much for me. I also had college finals that week and it drained me.

There is no mandatory requirement you be provide a break of "x" amount of time between shifts however.

Generally speaking, child labor laws are quite restrictive for those under 16 years of age but have just a few limitations for 16 and 17 year olds.
