This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law, with certain exceptions, establishes 8 hours as a day's work and a 40-hour workweek, and requires payment of prescribed overtime compensation for additional hours worked. Existing law, except as specified, requires compensation for any work in excess of 8 hours in one workday at the rate of no less than 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for an employee, and compensation for any work in excess of 12 hours in one day at twice the regular rate of pay for an employee. Under existing law, a person who violates the provisions regulating work hours is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would exempt employees of 24-hour nonmedical out-of-home licensed residential facilities of 15 beds or fewer for the developmentally disabled, elderly, or mentally ill adults from the above-described provisions, and would prohibit those employees from working more than 24 consecutive hours, until the employee receives at least 8 hours of off-duty period, as specified. The bill would specify that, for these employees, time spent sleeping during the employee's 24-hour on-duty period shall not be included as hours worked for the purpose of calculating overtime and would require that time to be compensated at the minimum wage. Because a violation of these provision would be a misdemeanor, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
