Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime calculated for 12-hour shifts?
Under federal FLSA rules, overtime (1.5x pay) kicks in after 40 hours/week. Three 12-hour shifts (36 hrs) have no overtime. Four shifts (48 hrs) have 8 overtime hours. In California, overtime starts after 8 hours per day, so every 12-hour shift includes 4 OT hours.
What is a night shift differential?
Night differential is extra pay for working evening or overnight shifts, typically $2-$6/hour extra. It is common in healthcare, manufacturing, and public safety. Federal employees receive a 7.5-10% differential for night shifts.
