Overtime pay for San Jose police officers quadrupled over the past decade, as dozens of officers each year have exceeded work limits set by the department's duty manual, a newly released city auditor’s report reveals.

A bonus to a front-line worker, even during the pandemic, might be considered nondiscretionary and thus should be included in overtime calculations if an employer isn't careful.
A nondiscretionary bonus is a bonus that employees know about and expect, and employers often forget to factor them into overtime pay, according to Steven Suflas, an attorney with Ballard Spahr in Denver and Cherry Hill, N.J.
"Most bonuses are nondiscretionary," said Jennifer Shaw, an attorney with Shaw Law Group in Sacramento, Calif. She added that discretionary bonuses, on the other hand, aren't included in the regular-rate calculation when determining overtime.

City of Los Angeles Salaries: Who Made the Most in 2020?
The year 2020 was brutal for the economy of the City of Los Angeles, as finances were hammered by pandemic-fueled drops in the hotel tax, parking ticket income, and other revenue streams. It's so bad that City Controller Ron Galperin recently warned that City Hall is facing a $550 million revenue shortfall in the current fiscal year (though some or all of that gap could be plugged with a portion of the $1.35 billion Los Angeles will receive in pandemic relief from the federal government).

Duties Are More Important than Titles in Determining Overtime Coverage
Fire department battalion chiefs are managers, not front-line firefighters, and as such are not excepted as first responders from the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA's) exemptions from overtime pay, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided.
