Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Legal and Binding

Well 6months ago me and another empployee were put on a shift work rotation ,and we were told when we aggreed to to do this that we will not lose any money when we did this in fact we were told that our pay would not change at all.

Now 6 months later he calls us into the office and says that he wants to put us on a hourly wage and this would be ok with us if it wasnt for the fact that we will lose about $500.00 a month for doing the same exact job. he said that we will make the same if work Overtime !!! Then he said that if we lose money after 2 months he will make a adjustment in our wages . But wont put it in writing, I think this is not right and i also think that it is legaly binding that he said that we will not lose any money , is there any thing that i can do ? and do you know a layer that can help with this problem.

Re: Legal and Binding

Your question is not clear and can not be answered.

However, if you were previously on salary and worked over 40 hours per week, you may have a claim for unpaid overtime. The nature of your work will determine whether you can be classified as a salaried employee.

If your require any further information, feel free to call me.
