How overtime works in IHSS: Overtime (1.5× your rate) kicks in after 40 hours in a Sunday–Saturday workweek — not per pay period. IHSS pay periods (1st–15th and 16th–end) often split a workweek, so hours from one period can affect overtime in the next. Full overtime guide → · Pay periods explained →
