The change in overtime rules will erase that objection, and provide more incentive to employers to permit flexible scheduling. Flexible scheduling can also provide a simple way to increase company loyalty while making a business more productive and competitive. The change in overtime regulations affects the majority of California's workforce, who are employed under five of the state's 15 Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders. No other industries or occupations are affected by the changes and the new rules do not apply to workers who are under collective bargaining contracts if the contracts specify hours of work and overtime pay requirements. It is an excellent recruitment tool for attracting quality employees and also tends to improve employee morale since it can help them balance family obligations with work.
Every employer is required to have the appropriate wage orders posted at their workplace.
Also, anyone with internet access can view the wage orders at the DIR homepage. Those doing so are asked to provide their name and telephone number in case more information is needed for proper response.
