Overtime Pay Rules and Regulations Attorneys
In this economy, more and more employers are cutting corners, asking employees to work extra hours without pay. Too often, employees simply do what they are told.
With the exception of exempt employees, all California employees must be fairly compensated for overtime work. Overtime work includes working any extra hours, including working during lunch. Even if you make the choice to work extra hours (perhaps you have too much work to do in 40 hours), your employer must compensate you for the time you work.
You gave your services and your employer unfairly reaped the benefits. Don't accept unjust treatment. Contact us.
Stand Up for Your Rights. We'll Stand With You.
At Backstrom & Heinrichs, our California unpaid overtime attorneys have more than 35 combined years of experience in employment law. Attorney Ward Heinrichs is a former Marine turned aggressive trial lawyer for employee rights. His partner, Karin Backstrom, represented employers in employment law disputes for many years. She now uses the insight she gained to protect employees from illegal employment practices, too. Together, they have the drive and the legal knowledge necessary to prepare a strong unpaid overtime case on your behalf.
Who Is Entitled to Overtime Pay?
Anyone who is not exempt from California's wage and hour law is entitled to overtime pay. This can include on-the-clock employees forced to work off-the-clock without compensation, individuals with high salaries, and managers who are misclassified as exempt employees, and others. Not sure if you are nonexempt or exempt? We can help you determine your employment status and decide whether you should bring a claim.
If you are not alone - if your employer has unlawfully forced other employees to work overtime - we may be able to help you and your fellow employees bring a class action lawsuit against your employer.
