It is not uncommon for Northern California employers to take advantage of employees by refusing to pay overtime compensation. Under California law, and employer is to pay 1 ½ times the employee’s normal rate of pay if s/he works more than 8 hours per day or more than 40 hours per week. They are also required to pay double the normal pay rate when an employee works more than 12 hours per day.
If you are working long hours, and not receiving the compensation you are entitled to, it is possible that your employer is in violation of the law.
