If you work here and think your employer got your overtime or wages wrong, a free case review can help you understand your options. Workers here are protected by the federal FLSA and by California's state wage and hour laws.
California is one of a handful of states that can require overtime after a set number of hours in a single workday, in addition to the standard 40-hour workweek rule under federal law. Exact thresholds and exceptions should be confirmed with a licensed attorney.
