Working overtime is common for many employees, but unfortunately, some employers fail to properly pay their employees for all of the hours they work. This can have significant financial consequences for workers, and it is important to understand your rights if you believe you have been denied overtime pay. You work hard to earn your paycheck and if you’re entitled to overtime compensation under the law, you deserve that money.
Unpaid overtime is an issue because it can have a significant impact on workers' financial well-being. The law specifies that for non-exempt employees, there is a 40 hour work week and an 8 hour work day. Non-exempt employees who work overtime hours in excess of those limits are entitled to receive time-and-a-half pay for each hour worked over 40 hours per week or 8 hours in a day. When employers fail to pay overtime wages, workers can lose out on significant amounts of money. This can make it difficult to pay bills, support a family, or save for the future.
In California, non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay. Employees who work more than 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week should be eligible for overtime compensation, provided that there is no exemption covering them. Overtime pay is calculated as 1.5 times the employee's regular rate of pay. While this may sound straightforward, there are many intricacies of California employment law so it is important to call a San Diego employment lawyer at Nevels + Nichols today to verify whether or not you are entitled to overtime.
Certain employees are exempt from overtime pay, such as salaried employees who perform executive, administrative, or professional duties. However, it is important to note that employers often misclassify employees as exempt in order to avoid them paying overtime. Our San Diego unpaid overtime attorneys at Nevels + Nichols can help you determine if you have been misclassified as an employee and can help you pursue compensation in the event that you have not paid overtime.
Misclassification of employees occurs when an employer improperly classifies an employee as exempt from overtime pay. This is a common issue in California, and it can have significant financial consequences for employees as salaried exempt employees do not receive additional pay for extra hours worked. Our team of San Diego unpaid overtime lawyers at Nevels + Nichols have extensive experience representing clients who have been misclassified and are entitled to unpaid overtime wages.
Employers who fail to pay their employees overtime wages may be subject to penalties.

Nevels + Nichols has the mastery of this area that you need to get the most from your claim.
