CA AB2103

Payment of a fixed salary to a nonexempt employee is deemed to provide compensation only for regular, nonovertime hours, regardless of any private agreement to the contrary.

The regular hourly rate for computing overtime compensation for a nonexempt full-time salaried employee is 1/40th of the employee's weekly salary.

Registered nurses cannot be exempted from overtime protections unless they individually meet the criteria for executive or administrative employee exemptions.

The bill overturns the court decision in Arechiga v. Dolores Press (2011) 192 Cal.App.4th 567.

No state reimbursement is required because the bill creates new criminal penalties for violations of overtime compensation laws.
