The 4×10 schedule
Four 10-hour shifts are 40 hours, so there is no weekly overtime under federal law. Five 10-hour shifts are 50 hours, which includes 10 hours of overtime. In California, each 10-hour day normally includes 2 hours of daily overtime unless the employer has adopted an alternative workweek schedule.
