Legal Question in Administrative Law in California
Overtime
My job did not pay me all my
overtime before they let me go, I
was wondering if there is a way to
get that money?
For the two years that I worked
there I would clock in thirty minutes
early but they state that because I
did not fill out a form to get approval,
they do not have to pay. Now this is
not always the case, there were
many times when I did not fill out
the form and they paid my overtime.

Re: Overtime
File a claim with the Labor Commissioner. If the amount of unpaid OT is enough to justify hiring counsel to help you in the hearings, feel free to contact me, if the case is in SoCal.
Re: Overtime
You can sue, and many attorneys would take your case because you can collect attorney fees on top of your overtime, or you could contact the State of California Labor Commissioner, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and they will file a claim. Hope you kept accurate time records and you retained copies of them.
