Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Hello, I recently left my position at a company that has questionable overtime practices. I set up equipment for concerts and corporate events. Often my day runs over 16 hours sometimes even 20!

I had a set, stated rate at our warehouse which comprised but a small part of my yearly income. This was the only work I did for the company when I actually could get a clear answer on how much I could expect to make.

For shows, which comprised the majority of my income, I could never exactly tell how much I was going to make or how much my rate was. It could have been $200 for an 8 hour shift, or $500 for a 10 hour shift. My hourly shop rate did not correspond to my show pay.

I got hints and vague language from management that I was never paid double time, but never received any written record that stated this or laid out any hourly breakdown. I should also mention that I was a w4 employee, and also that there are many, many others that have worked under these conditions for a long time.

The owners of the company in question, a mom and pop operation, also illegally counterfeited complex equipment and had a lot of electrical equipment that was not up to NEC code.

I was also made to drive 24 ft bobtail trucks, often after working for 15 or more hours, with a class C license (no cdl), for business purposes.

Do I have a case? Do I need to provide you guys with more information? I appreciate, in advance, the advice.

Thanks,

Anonymous
