Programmers working for Sun Microsystems are alleging the networking giant is not paying the overtime wages mandated by California Labor Laws.
May 20, 2006
Santa Clara, CA -- Although Federal labor laws require overtime pay for eligible employees who work more than 40 hours a week, in California overtime pay must be calculated on a daily basis – requiring companies to pay for overtime after an eligible employee has worked more than 8 hours in a single day.
Workers for Sun Microsystems are alleging the company is denying legitimate overtime wages to computer programmers and code writers by not correctly calculating employees’ overtime hours, in defiance of California Labor Laws.
State labor laws also require in 2006 that if a California computer professional earns less than $47.81 per hour or the annual salary equivalent of approximately $99,445, they may be entitled to overtime pay. Claims for overtime may be asserted for the past 3 and sometimes 4 years of employment.
