Wage and Overtime Dispute Lawyers in
Southern California – Protection Law
Group, LLP
State & Federal Laws set forth the guidelines
with which employers must comply with regards
to employee compensation. At Protection Law
Group, we have successfully represented
numerous clients in a broad range of Wage &
Overtime disputes arising from but not limited
to:
•
Employment Misclassification
•
Lunch or Dinner Breaks and Rest Breaks
•
Off the Clock Disputes
•
Overtime Disputes
•
Failure to Pay Employees in a Timely Manner
•
Refusal to Pay Earned Overtime
•
Failure to Pay Employees Earned Wages /
Salary
•
Unreimbursed Work Expenses
Wage earners must receive no less than
minimum wage for all hours worked. They are
also required to receive overtime pay as follows:
•
Time & a half – shifts exceeding eight hours
and the 1st eight hours worked on 7th
consecutive day
•
Double time – shifts exceeding twelve hours
and for every hour worked beyond 1st 8 hours
on 7th consecutive day
If your job requires you to work non-traditional
shifts such as four 10 hour days in a week
followed by three days off, these employees only
begin earning overtime wages if they work more
than 40 hours per week.
Workers who have earned overtime wages must
be paid those wages on the next regular payday.
Failure to adhere to these requirements may
result in the employer being required to pay
penalties and other monetary damages set forth
by law.
Additional issues arise regarding overtime if the
employee’s status has been improperly
misclassified as either salaried worker (exempt
employee) or as independent contractor.
Because exempt employees and independent
contractors are not generally entitled to
overtime, employers may face substantial fines
and pay all back overtime due when
misclassification takes place. Those hired on as
independent contractors may also be entitled to
reimbursement for benefits provided to regular
employees.
If you are terminated by your employer, you
must immediately be given your final paycheck,
including payment for all vacation hours that
have not been used. Those who voluntarily quit
their jobs but don’t give any advance notice
must receive their final check within three
calendar days. Employees who provide a
minimum of three days prior notice of their
intent to quit must be given their last check on
their final day of employment.
Finally, employers are required under the law to
comply with statutes governing meal (lunch or
dinner depending on the shift) breaks and rest
breaks. Employers are expressly forbidden from
preventing workers from taking these breaks or
requiring their employees to work during these
breaks. If these laws are violated, your employer
may be required to pay penalties as well as
provide additional monetary compensation.
