Before a contractor can implement a four-day, ten-hour alternative workweek schedule without paying daily overtime, what employee approval is required?
a.Written agreement signed individually by each affected employee
b.Approval from a simple majority of the company's owners
c.Secret-ballot election with at least two-thirds approval by the affected work unit
d.Notice to employees at least 30 days before the schedule begins
Explanation
Under Labor Code §511, an alternative workweek schedule (e.g., 4/10) must be approved in a secret-ballot election by at least two-thirds of the affected work unit. Notice, posting, and DIR reporting are required, but individual signatures or owner approval do not satisfy the statute.
