  • Are agricultural workers in CA exempt from a “Day rate” overtime calculation in CA and Can they work 10 hourr days without OT?

I think this should answer the question.  https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Overtime-for-Agricultural-Workers-FAQ.html

What is the timetable for agricultural workers to receive overtime pay after January 1, 2019?

The daily and weekly thresholds at which agricultural workers receive overtime pay at a rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay will phase-in according to the following schedule:

Schedule for Changes to Daily and Weekly Hours After Which Agricultural Workers Receive Overtime Pay
Effective date for employers with 26 or more employees: Effective date for employers with 25 or fewer employees Overtime (1.5x regular rate of pay) required after the following hours per day / hours per workweek:
Jan. 1, 2019 Jan. 1, 2022 9.5 / 55
Jan. 1, 2020 Jan. 1, 2023 9 / 50
Jan. 1, 2021 Jan. 1, 2024 8.5 / 45
Jan. 1, 2022* Jan. 1, 2025* 8 / 40

*Double the regular rate of pay required after 12 hours in a workday.
For pre-existing overtime requirements for agricultural workers, including on the 7th day of work in a workweek, please see Wage Order 14.
