There are both federal and state laws that affect wage and overtime claims. As in most areas of labor law, California is more protective and gives greater rights and benefits to employees as opposed to federal law. California has higher minimum wage pay than the federal law minimum wage in the lowest amount of hourly pay a worker can receive. The law also requires workers to receive overtime based on a certain amount of hours per week that they work.
However, this law does not apply to exempt workers. Primarily, exempt workers include managers and assistant managers. Moreover, the mere classification of a person as a manager or assistant manager does not automatically make them exempt.
