Your Overtime Pay Rights In California

In California, you must be a “nonexempt” employee to qualify for overtime pay. In general, workers not exempt from overtime rules are salaried workers who do not perform management duties on the job. As a nonexempt worker, you must be paid at least time and a half for any work you perform past eight hours in a single workday or 40 hours in a work week. If you work more than 12 hours in a day or eight hours a day for seven consecutive days, you are entitled to double pay for those excess hours.

If you have been wrongfully denied overtime pay, your employer may claim that you are not entitled to it. Wage and hour law can be complicated and there are a lot of facts to consider. One of our employment law attorneys will work hard to investigate your case and argue persuasively on your behalf.
