Knowing Your Wage And Hour Rights In California
California law provides strong protections for workers, including:
- Minimum wage requirements
- Overtime pay regulations
- Meal breaks and rest periods
- Timely payment of wages
These rights apply to all employees, including immigrant employees. Let’s explore some common violations and how to address them.
Common Wage And Hour Violations Conducted By Employers
Employers may violate wage and hour laws by:
- Failing to pay minimum wage
- Denying overtime pay
- Misclassifying employees as independent contractors
- Not providing required meal breaks or rest periods
- Making illegal deductions from paychecks
If you’ve experienced any of these issues, you may be entitled to compensation.
Answering Your Wage And Hour-Related Questions
Many workers have questions about their rights. Here are my answers to some common wage and hour-related inquiries:
Does immigration status have an effect on your rights in the workplace?
No. In California, all workers have the same wage and hour rights, regardless of immigration status.
How long does an employer have to correct a payroll error?
California law requires employers to correct payroll errors and pay any owed wages within 30 days of discovering the error.
What can employers deduct from my paycheck?
Employers can only make deductions required by law (like taxes) or authorized in writing by the employee for their benefit (like health insurance premiums).
Protecting Immigrant Employee Rights
As an immigrant employee, you have the same rights as any other worker in California. Don’t let fear of retaliation or deportation prevent you from seeking justice. With my experience handling multiple employment law cases, I’m here to protect your rights and fight for fair compensation.
