It is suggested that you take the time to educate yourself about California labor laws as they relate to those areas in your unique workplace. If you are unsure about interpreting certain California overtime laws, and you feel there may be an employer infraction or “mistake”, it is recommended that you find a California labor law attorney and seek the proper legal advice and counsel. Often employer violations are simply the result of ignorance and/or a lack of understanding of California labor laws. While that is a reason, it is not an excuse and does not permit any employer to be exempt from diligently applying the regulations enforced by the California Labor Board.
