Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Hourly employees volunteering time

Unless you are considered an exempt employee, you must be paid for all your time. Exempt employees are generally people that make more than double the minimum wage, are in a supervisory position, and/ or possess certain specialized licenses or certain skills. Most people are not exempt, and assuming you are not, you must be paid for all your time. If you work more than 8 hours in a day, or 40 hours in a week you should be paid for overtime which is 1 1/2 times your hourly rate.
