Employee Rights & Overtime Pay - A Matern Law Group Attorney Explains

California law guarantees employees overtime pay at a rate of one and a half times their hourly rate if they work more than eight hours in a day, or forty hours in a week. An employee is entitled to double their regular rate of pay if they work more than twelve hours in a day. Off-the-clock work is work performed by any employee for which they are not compensated. Off-the-clock work may vary by employer and even industry. Essentially, an employee should be paid for all job related activities that benefit the employer.
