My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
My fiance works for a home improvement/construction company that pays their employees by the day and offers no hourly overtime.
For example: he is paid $135 per day, whether he works from 7:00am (his starting time) to 12:00pm or 9:00pm. When he works a few hours, which is EXTREMELY rare, it's not so bad. However, more often than not he does not return to his shop until after 7:00pm, which constitutes for a 11 to 12 hour work day depending on whether or not he took a lunch. I believe the company recently started paying time and a half if you work 6 consecutive days in a row, but I am not 100% sure.
Is this legal?? Aren't there laws regarding employees working over 40 hours? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
