My work schedule was recently changed to where I am working a total of 16 hours in one day. The shifts are broken up into two 8 hour shifts. I am not being payed for overtime. I've been doing some research to see if this was legal or not but I wanted to get some opinions on the matter. This is the website I found that has the laws in it: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&group=00001-01000&file=500-558 The only thing I would be confused about is that I'm not exactly sure if we are on an alternative work schedule, but still, I'm not being compensated for the extra hours that I am working in the 24 hour period that I'm on the job. Neither have I signed or seen an agreement to work this schedule form the supervisior/employer. So, does this look sound legal or not?
