In the recent past, there has been a surge in the number of cases being reported in the court of law as a result of them not satisfying their employees. Employers get sued in California due to several reasons, what amazes most is that most of the employers still have not yet mastered the seat rules and regulations that must be observed to ensure that they do not get into loggerheads with the local authority as a result of breaching the rights of their employees. In this article, I am going to bring to your knowledge as an employer what you need to observe to make sure you are having a smooth time with your employees. Otherwise, the employee can sue them through a lawyer for defending California labor commissioner investigation and complaint to assist them to get their case through. Some of these important tips include:
Paying off the clockwork
According to the supreme court, there has been a misunderstanding when it comes to off the clockwork. Well, you might not be understanding the clear meaning of off the clockwork, this is the time that is just before the actual time of the working hours or just after the working hours. During this time, it could be that an employee was opening the doors to the business room or just setting the alarm before leaving the premises. As required by the law, employers must pay their employees this time that they spend on a daily basis, lack of which they will be sued and will be charged to compensate.
Have a clear knowledge Between Independent contractor and Employee
On calculating the amount of salary or commission to pay to an employee, employers have been given a clear guideline on what to do. But just in case the employer does not follow the required calculations and pays the employee less the set standard money, then the employee has the right to sue the employer. As an employer, you can escape this type of trial just by taking time to understand if the employee you have is an independent contractor, but if the employer does not observe this, then they will be in for hot soup.
Clear Overtime Calculations
As an employer, overtime must be allowed and compensated for as required by the law. Regarding the calculations on what to ay an employee, the government has set a clear rule in which overtime should be calculated. Just by overlooking this, the employer will be getting into a clear place where they can easily be sued.
Provision of meal and Rest Breaks
Being an employer is a good thing, and taking care of the employees is another thing. Due to increased complaints from employees, the government has a clear standard of how to give breaks and rest breaks to all employees. Did you know that ignoring the break rule could bring an employer trouble? Now you know, choosing to obey costs nothing, but ignorance will always cost and the cost sometimes is very painful.
