Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Hired as Part time working Full time

I was hired as a part time employee for a rate of $700 per week. I recently have been working full time hours. They keep telling me i will be compensated and soon will be full time, but so far no luck. My paycheck lists me as hourly but at 40 hours per week. My superiors acknowledge that i am part time. Am i entitled for compensation for flexing up from what i was hired for? I also do not get a day off. My company expects immediate responses on all matters everyday regardless of the day. I was told I could start taking thurs. off if i did not have to go out in the field, but still may have to answer emails. (back to no days off)

Thanks!

Re: Hired as Part time working Full time

You are entitled to payment for all hours worked. If you were hired at a weekly salary, it is presumed that is for 40 hours. Hours worked more than 8 hours daily or 40 hours weekly, are overtime and you are entitled to time and one half for all such hours.

Call backs and other tasks performed outside of your 8 hours daily are also compensable.
