Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Exempt employee hours
I am an exempt, salaried employee. My bi-weekly paystub, however, states:
''regular pay 80.00 hours $XXXX''
When I was hired I was verbally informed my pay was based on a 40 hour work week.
My new boss states we must now work a minimum of 44 hours per week.
Is this illegal since we are paid for 40 hours?
Thank you.

Re: Exempt employee hours
If you have properly been classified as exempt, it is not illegal for your employer to require you to work more than 40 hours per week. The real question is, are you actually an exempt employee?

Much more involved than just hours worked. Need to meet many items to decide if you are truly an exempt employee. Call to discuss.
