Overtime Wage Attorney

Employees are often taken advantage by employers when the employer refuses to pay overtime compensation when it is due. Under California Labor Code section 510(a), an employer is required by law to pay 1½ times the employee’s regular rate of pay when the employee works more than 40 hours in a work week or more than 8 hours in a workday; and double the employee’s regular rate for working more than 12 hours in a workday. If you believe that you have been denied overtime pay, contact an overtime wage attorney to discuss your circumstances.
