Overtime for employee in California

[Chris]

If A Ca. Hourly Employee Who Works Mon-thur, 9 Hours Per Day And Takes Fri. Off As Pto, Are We Required To Pay Him Overtime For Mon-thurs. Even Though He Did Not Physically Work 40 Hours?

Probably, as California has a law that requires payment of overtime for hours worked over 8 in a day. (Federal law requires payment of overtime after 40 hours in a week. Since California's law is more generous than the federal law, California law supercedes federal law.)

Let me know if you have any other question.

There isn't any law in California that requires an employer to pay holiday premiums for those working on the holiday. You can refer to the following state of California website for information about holiday pay in California: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Holidays.htm

Let me know if you have any other questions.
