conversation: User (Wolfensteinor): "I have 3 days 4pm to 12pm shift. \nAnd Sunday 12am to 8am \nAnd on the same Sunday another shift at 4pm to 12pm. \nIs this overtime on Sunday? \nCan my employer say that the Sunday 12am to 8am belongs to Saturday night because it's Sunday 12am is same as Saturday 12pm?   \n\n&amp;nbsp;\n\nAlso they don't put both shifts on Sunday. They put the first shift for the Saturday row and the 2nd shift for the Sunday row.   \n\n&amp;nbsp;\n\nWe start the end of the day process at 12pm on the point of sale computers/cash registers every night. It's a new day for all the retail/sales paperwork done after the end of the day.  \n\n&amp;nbsp;\n\nLet me know if this is too confusing. I'll do my best to explain it to you.  \nThanks  \n\n&amp;nbsp;\n\nEdit1: they don't put if the times are am or pm on the schedule. Just 12 - 8 on Saturday row and 4 to 12 on Sunday row. We just know what it is because there's no shift that starts at noon and ends at 8pm  \n\n&amp;nbsp;\n\nEdit2: formatting  \n\n&amp;nbsp;\n\nEdit3: I live and work in California"
  Self: "Where do you live?  In most states, overtime is based on the hours in a work week, not hours per day.  You could work 24 hours one day and not earn overtime.  But I know that California is different, there are probably other states, too.  "
  thebigFATbitch (thebigFATbitch): "California - as far as I can recall - pays overtime after working 8hrs in a day. "
  User (Wolfensteinor): "Yes it does. \nBut my question is, can my employer say that the first 8 hours I worked belongs to Saturday and therefore no overtime? "
