FAQ

In certain situations, time spent traveling is also subject to overtime under California employment law. If employers fail to compensate for travel time overtime, they are effectively subtracting from wages employees have earned.

To be compensable at the overtime rate, travel must respond to an event that could not be scheduled or controlled administratively and there must be an immediate official necessity for the travel to be performed outside the employee's regular duty hours (60 Comp. Gen. 681, 1981).

Contact the US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division (USDOL) USDOL can assist with minimum wage and overtime claims if you're covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act.

In general, when an individual resides in California, they are subject to California's comprehensive and protective labor laws regardless of where their employer is located. California laws also apply to those who are legal residents of other states but are working in California.

The California Supreme Court has concluded that California's employment laws govern all work performed within the state, regardless of the residence or domicile of the worker.

The Professional Exemption sets out eight specific professions (law, medicine, dentistry, optometry, architecture, engineering, teaching, and accounting) that are exempt from the first 12 sections of the Wage Orders. It also addresses certain other professions, including nurses, pharmacists and software coders.

All workers have rights on the job. In California, workers are protected by labor laws. It does not matter where you were born or what your legal status is. Once you are hired, you have rights.

An employee may receive, in lieu of overtime compensation, compensating time off at a rate of not less than one and one-half hours for each hour of employment. Overtime pay for non-exempt workers in California is equivalent to 1.5x the employee's regular rate of pay.
