	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2103, as introduced, Ammiano. Employment: wages and hours:
overtime.
   Existing law, with certain exceptions, establishes 8 hours as a
day's work and a 40-hour workweek, and requires payment of prescribed
overtime compensation for additional hours worked. Existing law
authorizes the adoption by 2/3 of employees in a work unit of
alternative workweek schedules providing for workdays no longer than
10 hours within a 40-hour workweek.  Existing law also includes
definitions of terms used in these provisions.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those definitions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
