Are You Entitled to Overtime Wages?
In California, employees are entitled to overtime if they work over 8 hours a day or 40 hours per week. Overtime is to be compensated at 1.5 times their regular hourly wage. Some workers are exempt from these laws. Generally, exempt workers include managers and assistant managers. But, the job title of a person does not automatically make them exempt. The law looks at the actual work performed by the person as opposed to their title.
- Does the manager supervise people?
- If so, how many and for what percentage of their time?
- Is the manager required to use discretion or independent judgment?
California and Federal law protect employees in regards to the prompt and full payment of wages. California law is more protective in this area and gives greater rights and benefits to employees as opposed to federal law. Failure to pay overtime wages can also come up if you are under an employment contract. Contact our California lost wages attorney today.
