Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Entitled to Overtime?
As a Restuarant Manager, I've worked 50 hours a
week for the last 7 months without receiving
overtime pay. My employer insists that I am not
due overtime because I am a SALARIED
EMPLOYEE. They recent cut my days, from 5 days
a week to 2 days a week, and also cut my SALARY
so that i am only being paid for those 2 days that I
work. Doesn't being a salaried employee mean
that i should continue to get the same pay even
though I'm working fewer hours? If they cut my
pay, then was I ever really a salaried employee?
I want to sue them for overtime. Do I have a case?

Re: Entitled to Overtime?
Yes, there is a good possibility they lost their claim that you are exempt from overtime compensation. You should see an employment law attorney to review your case or go to the Labor Commissioner's office near you.
