Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) last month speaks in support of the legislation expanding overtime pay for farmworkers. Jerry Brown on Monday signed historic legislation that would expand overtime pay for California farmworkers. In California, the Legislature exempted farmworkers from earning overtime pay in 1941. Hourly workers in other jobs across the state receive overtime after eight hours a day and 40 hours a week. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar overtime bill in 2010.
