Common Violations of California Labor Law
You may have certain employee rights that have been violated by your employer that you may not even be aware of. Here are just a few of the common employer labor code violations that may allow you to receive compensation.

Not receiving overtime for working over 8 hours in a day and over 40 hours in a week?
-
Are you on strictly commission or a combination of commission and hourly pay?
-
If so, is your employer calculating your overtime correctly?
-
Are you on salary, working over 8 hours in a day without overtime?
If so, you may have rights to overtime.

Are you an inside telephone sales person and not receiving overtime?
If so, you may be owed overtime compensation.
-
Do you receive a 10 minute rest break for every 4 hours of work?
-
Does your employer allow you to have an uninterrupted, 30 minute meal break where you can leave the employers place of business? This is exactly what it means. Not having to answer the phones, helping customers, advising other employees?
-
Are you required to travel for your company and use your own vehicle? Does your employer pay you for mileage? Did you know that the 2008 mileage reimbursement rate adopted by the California Labor Commissioner is .58 1/2 Cents per mile?

Does your employer pay you and other employees with an out of state payroll check? Does your bank put a hold on the payroll check for a few days so the check can clear?

Does your employers payroll bank charge you a check cashing fee? If so, you may have certain rights.
