Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)

(a) It is the policy of the state that the workweek of the employees of the California State University shall be 40 hours, and the workday of such employees eight hours, except that workweeks and workdays of a different number of hours may be established in order to meet the varying needs of the different campuses and facilities. It is the policy of the state to avoid the necessity for overtime work whenever possible.

This policy does not restrict the extension of regular working-hour schedules on an overtime basis when the action is necessary to carry on the business of the California State University properly during a manpower shortage.

The trustees may provide for the payment of overtime in designated classes for work performed after the normal scheduled workday or normal scheduled workweek, when the designation is appropriate to the designated class.

(b) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
