Los Angeles Unpaid Overtime

Los Angeles and Riverside County Unpaid Overtime Attorneys

Many Los Angeles-based employees are required to work more than eight hours a day. This is considered overtime. Some employers incorrectly believe that overtime pay is not required if employees are salaried.

In California, even salaried employees may be entitled to overtime compensation. Exceptions to this rule are specific and limited.

Employers may accidentally or intentionally fail to pay employees for their overtime. Be proactive and contact one of our well established employment law attorneys to help you recover the compensation you've earned.

We will investigate your claim to see if your employer is failing to compensate you for overtime by:

• Incorrectly classifying you as exempt employee to avoid paying overtime
• Failing to account for the hours you worked at two locations for the company
• Erroneously failing to count required work that was completed off the clock
• Expecting you to work through meal breaks or rest periods
• Calculating overtime by hours worked during a one-week period, but ignoring single shifts in excess of 8 hours
• Implementing a compensation system to offset days when more than eight hours were worked ("comp time").

Our attorneys are ready to commit the appropriate legal, investigative and financial resources to help you recover the compensation you earned.
