Helping Employees Recover Unpaid Overtime in California

California law requires employers to pay most workers overtime for any hours worked over 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week. Employees who work more than 12 hours per day or more than 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work are entitled to double time or twice their regular hourly rate. If you have been denied overtime pay, you may be entitled to recover back pay for your employer’s violation of the law.
