Overtime pay over 8 hrs?

U.S.A. California

Published

Do nurses working in California get overtime pay for hours worked over 8 in a day? For example, say you are scheduled to work three 12 hour days in a week: do you get paid for 12 of those hours (4+4+4 extra hours worked each day) at time-and-a-half?

Thanks.

Hi Vince! Just circling back, so a Talent Acquisition reached out to me and my husband to do an Ondemand video interview via HireVue which we already completed. Do you have any idea how hiring process is with Kaiser. Are we suppose to hear from them after or we have to wait again for more months? Or just wait for status update at the website? 
 

thanks!!

TBH with you, IDK about the video interview because I didn't have that during my pre-hire assessments. I only had 1 test assessment like 20 or 25 questions, I can't remember. I have another friend who asked me too about the video interview, and IDK about it. I assume that, that is how Kaiser does the pre-hire assessment now since some employers do that too like Adventist Health.

The hiring process with Kaiser is lengthy, and competitive. Yes, you are supposed to hear from the Talent Acquisition Agent if you are hired, because they will discuss with you the rate, and they will tell you that a department manager from that unit will contact you. Mostly, the department manager will contact first, and then he/she will tell you that he/she will forward your acceptance of the employment to that Talent Acquisition Agent. Then the TAA will contact you, and start asking documents such as SSN and State ID for criminal background check, and so on. 

There are other ways to know about your job application for that position. One is to look at your KP career website account and go to your My Submission page. It'll say there the Job Submission Status such as Job Submission Complete, Eligibility Review in Progress, No Longer in Consideration for Position (you should receive an email of rejection), and so on.

I also recommend to apply more positions because waiting for that 1 position might not give you a big chance to get in right away. As I've said, it is competitive to get in at Kaiser. Keep applying until they'll notice you. You can apply as many as you can. That's what I did.

Thanks so much Vince! as always you are very informative! The position that had opened is Kaiser Roseville and thats where both of us got contacted. He is for M/S and I was for ICU position. I am worried about the call back because we are going on Vacation to Philippines on October and they might not be able to reach us. Will they just randomly call anytime of the day? Or usually set up a date and time? 
also, do you think Kaiser Roseville is a good area too? I am sorry I have a lot of questions! Doing lot of research because we don't know anybody from the area. LOL

They randomly call you anytime of the day Mon-Fri. No, they don't set up a date and time to talk to you, but they will leave a voicemail if you don't answer your phone, so you better call back right away. 

KP Roseville is a safe neighborhood. Around Roseville is also safe and nice, so your family will have a good start in that area here in California. I just can't tell you how the hospital is cuz I haven't worked there.
