California’s overtime laws are designed to provide protection to employees beyond what is laid out at the federal level. Additionally, California courts side with employees more often than employers.
The most frequent complaint filed under California’s wage and hours laws are unpaid overtime claims. This is partly because the state goes above and beyond the federal law (Fair Labor Standards Act) to protect workers.
But even if an employer isn't acting maliciously, ignorance of the law doesn't excuse violating it. To avoid any issues, both employees and employers need to have a full understanding of overtime laws in California.
