Legal Question in Employment Law in California
How far back do employer have to pay for retropay of botched overtime hours?
How far back does an employer have to pay for retroactive pay for overtimes hours worked? If the employer has not complied with the state laws of overtime pay and is forced to pay out how far do they go back to pay? In my present sitiuation it seems as if they should go back to when it first started up until the present which would be 11-12 yrs. They said the payments should be set up one way and it wasn't and now it seems as if the overtime pay has been wrong all along.

Generally the statute of limitations for overtime claims is 3 years. In some circumstances, a 4 year statute may apply. Call or email me if you would like to discuss your claim in more detail
