CA EMPLOYEES MUST RECEIVE PAY FOR THE HOURS THEY WORK, INCLUDING OVERTIME FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
In CA, it is illegal for your employer to violate CA labor laws. When a leather goods company was recently determined to have inappropriately docked its employees wages and forced the employees to work overtime without paying them for the extra hours, it was forced to pay $850,000 in damages to the workers. A skilled employment lawyer might be able to win you a large settlement if your employer has violated CA labor laws.
CA law states that certain employees must receive extra pay for any hours that they work over time. If you qualify as a non-exempt employee, you might be able to receive:
- One and one-half times your regular rate or pay for all hours worked more than eight hours
- Double your regular rate or pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday
