California employers are bracing for confusion as the state Legislature moves to reinstate overtime laws based on the eight-hour work day. Under the proposal, workers would collect overtime if they work more than eight hours in a given day. Proponents say the new legislation protects workers from lost wages and longer hours and also protects part-time employees who rely on daily overtime to supplement their income. But critics call it a ploy by organized labor to impose its will on non-union employers.

California employers are bracing for confusion as the Legislature moves to reinstate overtime laws based on the eight-hour work day.
Under AB 60, workers would collect overtime if they work more than eight hours in a given day. Since 1997, the state has allowed eight million workers overtime after they accrue 40 hours of work in a week, which means employers can schedule a worker for more than eight hours a day without paying overtime.
