Furthermore, we represent clients throughout Northern California in employment law matters. In addition, we are committed to providing the sound advice and vigorous representation you require.
UNPAID OVERTIME AND MISCLASSIFICATIONS
California law provides that nonexempt employees shall not work more than eight (8) hours in any workday or more than forty (40) hours in any workweek, unless he or she receives one and one-half times (1½) his or her regular rate of pay for all hours worked over eight hours in any workday and over 40 hours in the workweek. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that also provides protection to eligible employees. As a result, many workers benefit from overlapping state and federal safeguards.
Determining which workers are properly classified as exempt or nonexempt is highly complex. If you feel that you may have been misclassified, reach out to our Modesto wage and hour attorneys for a review of your case.
Moreover, misclassifications may arise due to ignorance of the law or as a result of intentional cost-saving measures by employers.
Consequently, employees may lose substantial income without realizing it.
