What should I do if I am not paid reporting time pay by my employer?
In California, if you are owed reporting time pay and your employer doesn’t pay you, you may file a reporting time pay wage claim with the Labor Commissioner’s Office. To recover your reporting time pay, you may also file a lawsuit against your employer in court.
Example:
Joe believes that he is owed reporting time pay, yet his employer has not paid him reporting time pay. On several occasions, Joe has showed up for his normal 8-hour shift and has been sent home after he worked less than half of his shift due to over-scheduling by his employer. For those days, Joe was not paid reporting time pay. Even though Joe only worked for a couple of hours on those days, he is entitled to reporting time pay for half of his normal shift. To recover his reporting time pay, Joe may file a reporting time pay wage claim in California with the Labor Commissioner’s Office. He may also contact a lawyer to help him file suit in court against his employer to recover his reporting time pay.
