Long story short, for the past 2 years, whenever I’ve worked overtime or double time, my employer has been paying me straight wage instead of 1.5x or 2x my hourly rate. I’ve tried to bring this up before, but management has explained it away. I finally sat down with our fiscal manager today and he had an “oh shit” moment where he finally agreed with what I was saying and noticed the mistake in their paycheck processing system. He’s going through months of pay periods to tally up what they owe me and will write me a check.
Should there be labor penalties or interest added of some kind? I’m really not too sure of my rights in this area. I’m in California, if it matters. It’s a great firm (and small industry) and I am not trying to burn any bridges. Thanks
