Paying double time

[timesheets]

I was looking into this issue the other day for one of my customers and thought it might be of interest here.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has no requirement for double time pay, but the California Department of Industrial Relations does. California workers are legally entitled to double time pay in two cases. First, when the hours worked in one day exceed 12, then they are paid double time for every hour worked thereafter. Second, if an employee works seven consecutive days, then for the first 8 hours on that seventh day they are paid time and a half, but for each additional hour, they are paid double time. The online timekeeping software at my company keeps track of all of this automatically so that you don't have to remember all these messy formulas.

Does it also tell you how to avoid paying that double time, even when the clock shows it is due?
