Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Of course. The employer is entitled to set and change hours, duties, titles, compensation, benefits, leaves, vacations, holidays, policies, rules, etc. just not retroactively. Not only are there no laws against poor management, 'unfair treatment', or rude, obnoxious or harassing behavior by management or other employees, but in general unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice. Any employee's goal should be to keep their supervisors happy and make them look good to the company, and make the company money. That�s how the company pays employee wages. If you don't, then don't be surprised to be replaced.

It depends on what you mean by "adjust your work hours." If you mean your employer is altering time records for time worked, so that the recorded hours show no overtime due when the actual hours worked would require overtime pay, that is seriously illegal. If you merely mean, as Mr. Nelson assumes, that your employer has adjusted your work SCHEDULE to avoid having you work hours that would require overtime pay, of course they can do that.
