CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES ENTITLED TO DAILY AND WEEKLY OVERTIME

California’s Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission (‘IWC’) wage orders require certain employers to pay both daily and weekly overtime to some employees. IWC wage orders, which govern wages, hours and working conditions in California, are in presently effect and must be posted by all employers in an area frequented by you, the California employee. An experienced employment lawyer can help you determine if you meet the criteria for such overtime. You might be able to receive overtime pay for each day and week you work more than 8 and 40 hours.

Additionally, the IWC states the minimum wage in California is at least $8 per hour. Make sure your CA employer is paying you $8 or more an hour! The purpose of the IWC monitor ‘the wages paid to all employees in this state, to ascertain the hours and conditions of labor and employment in the various occupations, trades and industries in which employees are employed in this state, and to investigate the health, safety, and welfare of those employees.’ Make sure your employer is following this law!
