You work hard and you are willing to walk the extra mile for your employer. You’ve worked overtime a lot, but now your employer does not want to pay you for the extra hours. What do you do?
If you are a non-exempt worker in California, your employer is required by law to pay you for the overtime you’ve worked. Some dishonest employers may purposefully classify an employee as exempt to avoid paying overtime.
You may think a whole rigmarole is not necessary for only a few hundred dollars. But think about this: your employer should be held accountable. They are taking advantage of you, and most probably, others too. And no, your boss cannot fire you for filing an unpaid overtime lawsuit. If he does, he’d be wrongfully terminating you.
