California Overtime Lawyers
Wage & Hour Laws

California's labor laws define overtime as:

  • Working over 8 hours in one work day
  • Working over 40 hours in one work week
  • Working 6 days in one work week

Any employee that works these hours is entitled to overtime pay. In California, the overtime rate is generally set at one and one half times the regular pay. Employers are obligated to pay overtime to any eligible worker by California laws, even if the overtime work was not authorized by a supervisor.

There are exceptions to these laws - certain positions that are considered "exempt" from overtime benefits. This long list of employees includes executives, managers, and administrative professionals, to name a few.

The classification of "exempt" positions is established by the employer in agreement with California labor laws. However, sometimes these positions are "misclassified," and employees are denied overtime wages that are owed to them.

Companies that do not pay their employees for overtime should be brought to justice for breaking the law. If you feel that your company has denied you and other employees overtime pay, contact a California Wage and Hour lawyer immediately to discuss your case.

The laws surrounding employment benefits and wages are very complex. You need the representation of a law firm that is well-versed in overtime knowledge and experienced in fighting corporate wrongdoers accountable for their injustice.
