In what world is a 12 hour shift not 4 hours ot? This company got me fucked up. They are lucky I can’t afford a lawyer the back pay would completely bankrupt them.


Not every state. But I do see the author is in CA so that is true there so unless they're a contractor they should qualify for OT. @auther you don't need an attorney, contact state labor board, they'll investigate
I think I will. This shit is fucking insulting.
Depends if you're hourly or salary, or freelance. Either way, talk with coworkers and check with HR on that. Might be wise to consider a lawyer.
It’s hourly. hr is saying they don’t owe me shit. and I cannot affa lawyer
Some states are a 40hr week for OT not 8hr day. Typically red states are like that. In those states they could work you 3 x 13 hr days and you wouldn't qualify for OT
State law requires nonexempt employees to get OT after 8 hours in a single day.
