Overtime Violations Attorney in Los Angeles
Hennig Kramer Ruiz & Singh, LLP Help You Get What You Are Owed
Federal and California state laws couldn't be more explicit. Workers in jobs classified as nonexempt are to be paid at least one and a half times their hourly rate of pay for all hours worked beyond 40 hours in their workweek. Under California law, employees are also entitled to overtime pay when they work more than eight hours in one day. Despite these unambiguous laws, many employers look for ways to unlawfully avoid paying overtime.

Ways Employers Violate Wage & Overtime Laws
If your employer is refusing to pay you the overtime you earned, you may not know what to do. Many clients report feeling intimidated and unsure of how to stand up to their employers and get the money they are owed. This can be, in large part, due to the insidious ways employers commit overtime wage violations. There are employers out there who will go to every length to avoid paying you for the overtime you worked.
Common ways employers illegally avoid paying overtime include:
- Misclassifying positions as exempt in order to only pay workers a straight salary
- Trading overtime hours for additional time off in the future
- Making workers stay off the clock while “donning and doffing” their equipment
- Having an administrative staff member fill out workers’ timecards with inaccurate information
- Counting overtime earnings as meeting the minimum wage requirement
- Splitting shifts into shorter blocks of hours
Many employees may feel pressure from their employers and even their coworkers not to report these violations. But you owe it to yourself to hold your employer accountable.
What to Do
At Hennig Kramer Ruiz & Singh, LLP, our wage and hour litigation lawyers believe that workers deserve to get paid every penny of the money they have earned. If you are not receiving the overtime wages you have earned, there are steps you should take to help your case.
You should:
- Document the number of hours you work each week
- Keep your pay stub to determine whether your employer is recording a different number of hours
- Though not mandatory, you should consider filing a formal complaint with your human resources department as this official documentation will be used as evidence in your case
- If you have filed a complaint with human resources, document any retaliation, harassment or discrimination you receive after making the complaint
