Rates of hourly student employees are determined by the department. UC generally sets their wages higher than the mandated minimum wage if budget is available.
In general, we schedule students in a way that avoids overtime. A student’s primary focus should be academics. We foster this by limiting overtime to a minimum. Student employees are paid overtime at a rate of one and a half times the regular rate of pay for work in excess of forty hours in a standard work week. The standard work week begins midnight Sunday and ends at 11:59pm the following Saturday.
