California Overtime Laws Enforced By California Courts
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 9, 2007 -- United Employees Law Group, PC, in conjunction with a several other class action firms has filed a class action on behalf of salaried employees who worked for Club Monoco U.S., LLC in San Francisco Superior Court, Case No. CGC 06-449963 and did not receive overtime pay and other alleged labor code violations.
United Employees Law Group, PC has also filed lawsuits against several of California's software companies including Oberman, Tivoli, Miller and Pickert, in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC399051 for among other things, failure to pay overtime wages to computer employees.
Attorney Walter Haines commented, "Employers both large and small are getting the message that misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime can be very costly."
Although Federal labor laws require overtime pay for eligible employees who work more than 40 hours a week, in California, overtime pay must be calculated on a daily basis - requiring companies to pay for overtime after an eligible employee has worked more than 8 hours in a single day.
Workers for these computer giants are alleging the companies are denying legitimate overtime wages to computer programmers, code writers, and other IT professionals by not correctly calculating employees' overtime hours, in defiance of California Labor Laws.
State labor laws also require in 2007 that if a California computer professional earns less than $49.77 per hour or the annual salary equivalent of approximately $103,522 for 40 hours of work per week, they may be entitled to overtime pay. Claims for overtime may be asserted for the past 3 and sometimes 4 years of employment. More importantly, the burden is on the employer to have kept time records.
If you are IT professional or Computer Programmer and feel that your current or former employer has not paid you the overtime wages you are entitled to, please join your fellow employees in registering your complaint with United Employees Law Group at www.paymeovertime.com.
