Footnotes on this rate
DIR's footnotes, in DIR's words. Several change the rate itself: zone pay, a percentage added to the total, or which overtime hours get which rate.
- L Rate applies to the first 4 daily overtime hours and the first 12 hours worked on Saturday; all other time is paid at the Sunday and holiday overtime hourly rate.
- AU Applies to the first 12 hours worked on Saturday. All other overtime is paid at the Sunday/holiday rate. In the event that conditions over which the individual employer has no control (i.e., adverse weather, project delays, logistical problems, general contractor or owner requirements, etc.) on one or more days during the regular work week prevent employees from working, then work is to be performed on Saturday, when available, at straight time rates.
DIR's other marks: # means an apprenticeable craft, * means in effect until superseded, ** means the next rate is already set.

Are you being paid this rate?
Add your hourly wage to what your employer pays into health, pension and other plans for you, and compare it with $86.42. Plan payments only count if the money goes into the plan; your pay stub won't show them, but plan statements will. The training amount goes to the California Apprenticeship Council or an apprenticeship program, not to you. Check a week of pay.
Contractors on most public works jobs file certified payroll with the state, and anyone can look it up in DIR's CPR public search. If your total comes up short, you can file a public works complaint with the California Labor Commissioner.
