INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Morrell

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 510 of the Labor Code, relating to
employment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1185, as introduced, Morrell. Employment: day's work.
   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
authorizes the adoption by 2/3 of employees in a work unit of
alternative workweek schedules providing for workdays no longer than
10 hours within a 40-hour workweek. Under existing law, a person who
violates the provisions regulating work hours is guilty of a
misdemeanor.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

 any   the  seventh day of a workweek shall
be compensated at the rate of no less than twice the regular rate of
pay of an employee. Nothing in this section requires an employer to
