You Earned Overtime. You Deserve to Be Paid.
Employers often find creative ways to avoid the expense of overtime pay. Some common tricks include trading regular work hours for additional work time off the clock, or having you work off the clock, or misclassifying your job as exempt from overtime laws.
California and federal law is clear that hourly workers putting in more than 40 hours a week are entitled to overtime pay. Salaried workers, too, may be entitled to overtime if they can show that they work off the clock hours to meet their employers' needs, or have been misclassified as exempt from overtime laws.

You have the law on your side. Employers who retaliate against an employee for seeking to enforce wage-and-hour laws are subject to the toughest financial penalties. In addition, you can receive additional money for being the initiator of a class action lawsuit.
