Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re facing workplace challenges and aren’t sure where to start, we’re here to help. At Shaker Law Group, we believe every employee deserves fair treatment and justice in the workplace.
What is the Equal Pay Act in California?
Overtime pay in California is calculated at one and a half times an employee’s regular rate of pay for any hours worked over 8 in a single workday or 40 hours in a workweek. Additionally, California law mandates double-time pay for any hours worked exceeding 12 in a workday, as well as for any hours over 8 on the seventh consecutive workday in a workweek.
These regulations are in place to protect employees and ensure fair compensation for extended working hours. Certain exemptions can apply based on an employee’s job type or classification, making it essential for both employers and workers to understand the state-specific labor laws governing overtime.
Am I eligible for overtime pay?
The basics of overtime pay center around the principle of fair compensation for employees who work beyond the standard hours defined by law, typically 40 hours per week. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees are eligible for overtime pay at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for any additional hours worked. However, it’s important to note that not all employees qualify for overtime pay; exemptions apply based on job roles, salary levels, and specific duties.
Understanding these rules is essential for both employers and employees to ensure compliance with labor laws and maintain equitable workplace practices.
If disputes arise over overtime compensation, seeking legal guidance can help protect an employee’s rights and address potential violations promptly.
What can I recover in an unpaid overtime case?
You can recover unpaid wages, liquidated damages, and potentially penalties for your employer’s violations.
What does it cost to hire Shaker Law Group?
We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay unless we win your case.
Can I still file a claim if I don’t have detailed records of my hours?
Yes, you can. Our team is skilled at uncovering evidence to support your case, even if you lack complete records.
