CA AB2448

Permits individual nonexempt employees to request and work up to 10 hours per day within a 40-hour workweek without triggering overtime pay for hours 9-10, if the employer approves the request in writing.

Requires employers to pay overtime at 1.5 times regular pay for hours exceeding 40 per week or 10 per day (whichever is greater), and double pay for hours exceeding 12 per day or hours on a fifth, sixth, or seventh workday.

Prohibits employers from inducing flexible schedule requests through promises of benefits or threats of detriments, and allows either party to discontinue the arrangement with written notice effective at the next pay period.

Excludes employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and public sector employees from this provision.

Designates the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement to enforce the section and adopt necessary regulations.
