Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I am curious about overtime pay. During a two week pay-period, the first week I worked 35 hours in 4 days plus 8 hours for a legal holiday - total hours 43

the second week, I worked 35 hours in the first 4 days and took a personal day 8 hours for my fifth day of the second week.

The person doing payroll paid me 8 hours for the holiday and an additional 2 hours to make my total work hours to 80 and paid no overtime.

I signed my hourly wage sheet for 70 hours worked plus 8 hours for holiday and 8 hours for personal/sick day totaling 86 hours. What should I have been paid in terms of hours ? any overtime? thank you for your response.

It is not clear from your example whether you worked any overtime. Getting paid for holiday or personal days does not count toward days actually worked.
