Orange County Attorneys Represent Employees in Wage and Hour Disputes
Most Americans are aware that a normal workweek in this country is 40 hours a week at a full-time job, and that an 8-hour day is considered a full day's work. Most have heard that any time worked beyond 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week should be paid at a rate of "time and a half," which is the standard for overtime pay. However, many are not aware of the full range of wage and hour violations that an employer may commit — such as improper tip pooling and failure to compensate business expenses.
