Legal Question
Security guard hours
I have a small security guard business and the guards want to work more than 8 hours per shift, but my understanding is that means time and a half for the next 4 hours, and double time for the 4 hours after that. The guards state they have worked in other companies where they would work a 6 hour 'shift' on Tuesday night (ending at midnight), then start a 'new' 6 hour 'shift' Wednesday, (starting at midnight, ending at 6:00 AM) - all at straight time. Is this legal?
I'd appreciate answers, and possible, exploring this matter further with an attorney whose specialty is Labor Law in California.
