Know Your Rights under California Labor Law!
A
Labor Law Attorney focuses primarily on the recovery of overtime wages for California employees. When hiring a California labor law attorney to recover overtime pay, it is important to not only choose an experienced California labor law attorney, but one that focuses on the recovery of overtime and unpaid wages. Many labor law attorneys are not experienced in the recovery of California overtime pay, but instead accept a variety of cases such as discrimination and harassment. Our firm specializes in California labor laws and even more specifically in the area of California overtime laws.
California overtime law allows
non-exempt employees to collect earned
overtime pay at one and a half their rate
of pay when working over 40 hours in a
workweek OR when working over 8 hours
in a day. The California Department of
Labor regulates employers with respect
to overtime law and also enforces the
California labor law. An experienced California labor law attorney should
be able to advise you as to whether or
not you may be entitled to back
overtime pay, penalties, and interest.
Many employees are misclassified by
the employers as exempt from overtime,
when in fact, California Labor Law holds that they are indeed entitled to
overtime pay. The CA
labor law mandates
that the duties of an employee, and not
the job title or the assigned exempt
status given to the employee by the
employer, determine whether or not an
employee is entitled to overtime pay.
California labor law places the burden
on the employer and not the employee
to maintain the records related to
overtime worked. If your case is
accepted, you pay nothing unless we
settle or win your case.
