FAQs on Overtime Pay in San Diego
What Rights Do Employees Have Regarding Overtime Pay in California?
California law ensures that non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked beyond eight in a day or 40 in a week. Employers must compensate these hours at one and a half times the regular rate, and double time applies after certain thresholds. Misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime is a violation of state law.
How Do I Know If I’m Entitled to Overtime Pay?
Consider your job duties and salary to determine if you’re entitled to overtime pay. You may be entitled to overtime pay if your job involves manual labor, hourly work, or duties that don’t meet the exempt criteria. If your employer fails to pay you for overtime hours, it’s essential to consult with an experienced lawyer to explore your legal options.
What Should I Do If My Employer Is Not Paying Me Overtime?
If you believe your employer is not paying you the correct overtime, document your hours worked and review your pay stubs. Contact an employment law attorney who can help you evaluate the situation and take legal action to recover unpaid overtime wages.
What Is the Process for Pursuing an Overtime Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit for unpaid overtime involves a group of employees affected by the same overtime violation. Your legal team will help certify the class, gather evidence, and represent the group in seeking fair compensation. Class actions can effectively address widespread overtime violations and secure compensation for all affected workers.
