SECTION 1810-1815




1810.  Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day's work in all cases
where the same is performed under the authority of any law of this
State, or under the direction, or control, or by the authority of any
officer of this State acting in his official capacity, or under the
direction, or control or by the authority of any municipal
corporation, or of any officer thereof. A stipulation to that effect
shall be made a part of all contracts to which the State or any
municipal corporation therein is a party.



1811.  The time of service of any workman employed upon public work
is limited and restricted to 8 hours during any one calendar day, and
40 hours during any one calendar week, except as hereinafter
provided for under Section 1815.


1812.  Every contractor and subcontractor shall keep an accurate
record showing the name of and actual hours worked each calendar day
and each calendar week by each worker employed by him or her in
connection with the public work. The record shall be kept open at all
reasonable hours to the inspection of the awarding body and to the
Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.



1813.  The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the
state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made
or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker
employed in the execution of the contract by the respective
contractor or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the
worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one
calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of
the provisions of this article. In awarding any contract for public
work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a
stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance
of all violations of this article committed in the course of the
execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of
Labor Standards Enforcement.



1814.  Any officer, agent, or representative of the State or any
political subdivision who violates any provision of this article and
any contractor or subcontractor or agent or representative thereof
doing public work who neglects to comply with any provision of
Section 1812 is guilty of a misdemeanor.



1815.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814,
inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted
in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work
performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day,
and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work
upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day
at not less than 1 1/2 times the basic rate of pay.
