Marcarian Law Firm, our knowledgeable overtime and employment Attorneys in Los Angeles provide the legal guidance and skill our clients need to pursue their employer for the wages they are owed from working overtime when they are eligible for the extended compensation.
In California, your employee rights and benefits are legally based on how you are classified by your employer. That may include being an exempt employee, non-exempt employee, or independent contractor.
Because of these laws, employee misclassification is a serious problem throughout the state.
When an employer intentionally or unintentionally misclassifies an employee, the affected employee may be entitled to back wages and other benefits under our specific laws.
If you believe you have been misclassified or are not being paid the overtime wages you are entitled to, contact our Los Angeles County Employment Law Attorneys today to discuss your unique circumstances, so we may pursue the compensation you are rightfully owed.
What is the Required Overtime Compensation Rate for Non-Exempt Employees in California?
When non-exempt employees work more than eight hours in a single workday or amass over forty hours in a single workweek, they must be paid one and one-half times their regular pay rate for the overage in time worked.
When non-exempt employees must be paid double time or twice as much as their regular wages when he or she works more than 12 hours in a single workday or for hours worked over eight hours on the 7th day of the workweek.
Why Do Employers Fail to Pay Overtime Wages in California?
State and federal wage and hours laws protect employees from being taken advantage of by their employers.
Often, the failure to pay overtime wages may be the result of an employer misclassifying the employee as exempt, whether they do so intentionally or unintentionally through the wrongful application of the complex tests prescribed under applicable laws or regulations.
