Our Unpaid Overtime Services
At The Law Offices of David J. Gallo, we offer a range of services specifically tailored to help employees recover unpaid overtime. Our experience in employment law enables us to address even the most complicated unpaid overtime cases.
Overtime Pay Calculation and Analysis
Many employees are owed overtime but may not realize it due to complex pay structures or misclassification. Our team will analyze your work hours and pay structure to ensure you’re being compensated correctly, identifying any unpaid overtime you may be owed.
Misclassification Claims
Employers sometimes misclassify employees as exempt from overtime pay, causing them to miss out on their entitled wages. We can help identify if you’ve been misclassified and take action to recover any unpaid overtime.
Double-Time Recovery
California law allows certain employees to earn double-time pay in specific circumstances. If you’ve worked extended hours without receiving double-time pay, we’ll work to ensure you receive the correct compensation for your time.
Claims for Unpaid Wages Due to Improper Deductions
Employers may unlawfully deduct wages or fail to pay for mandatory on-call hours. Our team examines your pay history and work schedule to ensure any unpaid overtime due to improper deductions is recovered.
Understanding Unpaid Overtime Laws in California
California has strict laws in place to ensure employees are fairly compensated for overtime. Under California labor law, most non-exempt employees must receive one and a half times their regular hourly rate for any work beyond 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week.
Double-time pay is required for any work exceeding 12 hours in a day or over 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work in a week.
At The Law Offices of David J. Gallo, we help you understand your rights under these laws and work with you to build a compelling case for your unpaid overtime claim.
