Re: Saleried Employees
It depends on whether you were exempt or non-exempt from overtime pay. For example, managers, administrators and professional employees are generally regarded as exempt from overtime pay and can be required to work as many hours as the employer requires for a fixed salary, as long as the monthly salary is at least two times current minimum wage.
If you think you should not be a salaried employee or are being paid less than twice the minimum wage, see a labor law attorney in your area, or contact the California Labor Commission.
