How much is a minimum-wage guard paid for the first 8 hours of work on the seventh consecutive day of work?

To understand how much a minimum-wage guard is paid for the first 8 hours of work on the seventh consecutive day, it's important to recognize California's labor laws regarding overtime and daily limits.

In California, employees who work seven consecutive days are entitled to be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for the first 8 hours worked on the seventh consecutive day. If we assume the minimum wage is $15 per hour (as of 2023), the calculation for a minimum-wage guard's pay for those 8 hours would be as follows:

First, find the hourly pay for overtime:

$15 (minimum wage) x 1.5 (overtime pay rate) = $22.50 per hour.

Now, multiply the overtime hourly rate by the number of hours worked:

$22.50 per hour x 8 hours = $180.

However, since the question asks about the minimum-wage guard's pay specifically for the regular hourly rate where the unrelated figure is provided for the total wage, discussions about minimum wages highlight how the regulations ensure that these workers receive appropriate compensation for working on their day off.

So the calculation emphasized in the answer reflects understanding continuous work and compensations but aligns effectively with standard
