On January 21, 2009, the California Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs' motion for rehearing in the Marin v. Costco Wholesale Corporation case which addressed how to calculate overtime on a bonus. The court modified its opinion to clarify that the only controlling California authority on the issue is the directive that overtime hours be compensated at a rate of no less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. The December 23, 2008 opinion, with the January 21, 2009 revisions, was certified for publication. Marin v. Costco was discussed in further detail in our previous post.
