Summary:
Current law sets a workday as eight hours and requires that overtime be paid for any additional work hours in a day or more than 40 hours in a week, unless two-thirds of workers in a unit adopt an alternate schedule of workdays lasting up to ten hours. This bill allows any individual nonexempt worker in a business with 10 or fewer employees to request to work a flexible schedule of up to 10 hours a day. Employers would be able to implement this schedule without any obligation to pay overtime.
