Overtime Violation Lawyers in Van Nuys
Helping Employees Recover Unpaid Overtime in the San Fernando Valley
California law requires employers to pay most workers overtime for any hours worked over 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week. Employees who work more than 12 hours per day or more than 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work are entitled to double time or twice their regular hourly rate. If you have been denied overtime pay, you may be entitled to recover back pay for your employer’s violation of the law.

How Do I Know if I Have an Overtime Claim?
Most non-exempt employees in California are entitled to overtime pay. However, some employees are exempt from the state’s overtime laws. This means their employer is not required to pay them overtime wages. It is important to note that even if you are classified as an exempt employee, you may still be entitled to overtime pay. In fact, many employers misclassify employees as exempt to avoid paying them the required overtime wages. If you believe you have been misclassified as an exempt employee, you should contact an experienced overtime attorney as soon as possible.
