Hourly/nonexempt employees must receive compensation for the overtime hours that they work. Generally, this means that you should be paid overtime for every hour you work over eight hours in a day and 40 hours in a week. You must also be paid overtime when you work more than six consecutive days unless you have an appropriate alternative work schedule.

If your employer has failed to pay you overtime or failed to pay you for meal and rest periods, or if you believe your work schedule is too challenging for a forty-hour work week, our California unpaid overtime class action lawyers can investigate your claim to determine if other employees are in a similar situation. If they are, we may be able to bring a class action lawsuit against your employer.

Failure to Pay Minimum Wage Disputes

Effective January 1, 2011, California's minimum wage is $8.00. If you are not earning at least $8.00 per hour, you may have a claim against your employer. Chances are you are not the only one. If your employer has employed a large group of people under minimum wage, we may be able to bring a failure to pay minimum wage class action against it.

Class Actions for Failure to Provide Meal and Rest Breaks

Under the California Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission wage orders (IWC orders), nonexempt employees who work more than five hours per day are entitled to an unpaid, 30-minute meal break and a paid 10-minute rest break. Those who work more than 10 hours are entitled to two unpaid 30-minute breaks and one 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked.

Has your employer denied meal or rest breaks to you and your coworkers? Our employment class action attorneys can discuss your case with you and help you decide whether to bring an individual claim or class action lawsuit against your employer.
