Unpaid Overtime

Unpaid Overtime

Get Compensated for Your Hard-Earned Overtime!

We live in a world that is moving faster than ever before. You work hard and you need to be compensated for it. Employees in the state of California are entitled to overtime compensation for each hour worked over the initial eight hours in a day, or 40 hours in a week, depending on how your schedule is arranged.

Overtime, also known as time-and-a-half, essentially means that you are owed your regular salary plus half of that for every hour worked over eight hours. If you are working over 12 hours, then you are owed twice your regular pay.

It should be noted that not all employees are eligible for overtime. Those who don’t qualify may include:

  • Taxi drivers
  • Students in a nursing program
  • Employees of the State
  • Professional actors
  • Airline employees

If you work purely on commission, then that does not necessarily mean you are ineligible from overtime pay. While it may depend on the industry you’re in, many employees who work on commission are entitled to it. Those working in jobs such as car sales, loans, or insurance still qualify! If you feel that your pay is being restricted, contact Law Office of Neda Aguirre, APC for help from a skilled Temecula employment law attorney.

Employer Negligence and Employee Misclassification

A common issue in the workplace is employee misclassification. A new employee may be hired as non-exempt but put in the system as exempt. This occurrence can be intentional or strictly negligent. For example, if you have ever been labeled as an independent contractor, instead of a full-time employee, than your employer has acted negligently.

Wage & Hour Violations

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has established laws to help protect you from employer negligence and violations. These laws help govern issues such as minimum wage, overtime pay, and more. Here are several examples of frequent violations that can occur at the workplace:

  • Misclassification of employees as exempt or non-exempt
  • Refusal to pay for both overtime hours and total hours worked
  • Asking an employee to work overtime without pay
  • Revising employees’ time sheets

    "She was able to keep me calm in a situation that had me on total edge."
    Let me start by saying Neda is a bit more than an attorney...she was my cheerleader, therapist, and motivator during my legal situation.  She was able to keep me calm in a situation that had me on total edge.  In addition, Neda proved diligent, optimistic and professional during the entire process!! She was able to answer my anxiety-filled questions and worries and meet deadlines while maintaining contact with myself and the court.  I am truly grateful to her for her kind words, positive demeanor, and professional knowledge!! Thank you again
