If you're working extra hours, it's essential to understand your rights under labor laws. Employers are required to follow strict guidelines when it comes to overtime pay and fair treatment for employees. At Heidari Law Group, we’re here to help you ensure that you’re getting the compensation you deserve for your hard work.

Here’s What You Should Know:

Overtime Pay:
Under federal law, non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
State-Specific Laws:
States like California have additional protections, requiring overtime pay for more than 8 hours in a single day. Make sure you know your state’s laws regarding overtime.
Illegal Practices:
Some employers try to avoid paying overtime by misclassifying workers or not compensating for extra hours. If you think this is happening, it’s important to take action.
Your Right to Fair Treatment:
You should never be forced to work extra hours without proper compensation. Employers who violate these laws can be held accountable.
