California Overtime wage calculation, please help?

Question

I am scheduled to work 40 hours a week (5 days a week, 8 hours a day). However, I often work beyond my 8 hours. For example I worked 44 hours last week. I was paid at an overtime rate for 4 hours of work. I am wondering if this is accurate, or if I should have received 8 hours of overtime (since I worked 9 hours on 4 days, that means I should get the overtime for the hour beyond 8, PLUS i worked 4 hours beyond 40 in a week) If my question makes sense, please clarify the correct way to calculate.

Answer 1

Federal law states tat you are paid overtime for anything over 40 hrs if paid weekly and 80 hrs if paid bi-weekly. For over time you are to receive 1.5 times your base pay. (if you make $10 an hr and you work 5 hr overtime you make $10 for 40 and $15 for 5)

Overtime is not calculated daily, but weekly.
