Alvarado v. Dart Container Corp.: Cal. Supremes Grant Review to Decide Overtime Rate of Pay Issue

In Alvarado v. Dart Container Corporation of California (Cal.App. 1/14/16) (discussed here), the California Court of Appeal held: (1) California law does not provide a method of calculating overtime rates of pay where the employer pays its employees an hourly rate of pay, plus a flat sum daily attendance bonus; (2) the employer here properly followed the formula set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations for paying overtime.

The Supreme Court granted review on May 11. Alvarado is case no. S232607, and the Court's web page for it is here.
