Especially if you aren\u2019t familiar with U.S. labor laws, you might fall victim to an employer who doesn\u2019t pay you for extra hours worked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, both the federal government and the state of California have protections in place for people who work extra hours. In fact, California not only has laws for hours worked per week, but it also for <\/span>extra hours worked<\/span><\/a> per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While California has many protections in place for both resident and non-resident workers, it’s best to work with a lawyer if you feel that your labor rights were violated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re owed extra pay, the California employment law attorneys at the House of Justice can help. Call 1-800-840-8080<\/a> for a free consultation in 10 minutes or less.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is Considered a Normal Working Day?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Across the United States, an 8-hour shift is widely considered a normal working day. <\/span>Yet, many states like California go a step further to ensure that workers receive extra pay for hours worked per day as well as hours per week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The federal government has laws in place that ensure that employees are fairly compensated for extra hours. As the <\/span>U.S. Department of Labor website<\/span><\/a> explains, <\/span>\u201cfederal overtime provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) \u2026 employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 40-hour workweek set forth by the FLSA highlights minimum standards that U.S. states must follow with labor protections. <\/span>However, if you work in California, you are entitled to extra pay if you work more than 8 hours per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have You Been Denied Pay for Extra Hours?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a few key points you can follow to understand if you are eligible or filing a wage violation claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>State of California Department of Industrial Relations website<\/span><\/a>, people \u201c18 years of age or older, or any minor employee 16 or 17 years of age who is not required by law to attend school and is not otherwise prohibited by law from engaging in the subject work, shall not be employed more than eight hours in any workday or more than 40 hours in any workweek\u201d without being properly compensated for their time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Extra <\/span>pay rates in California<\/span><\/a> are as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
