Overtime Class Action Law Firm Takes on Computer Giants

3 August 2006

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) August 2, 2006 -– United Employees Law Group, PC, in conjunction with several other class action law firms, has taken action on behalf of computer and IT professionals and has filed several overtime class action lawsuits across California against some of the nation's largest computer and computed related companies.

United Employees Law Group, PC has also filed lawsuits against smaller computer companies that may have violated California labor laws including Oberman, Tivoli, Miller and Pickert, Case No. BC399051.

Attorney Walter Haines commented, «Computer companies both large and small in California must step up and pay the overtime wages they are obligated to pay under the California Labor Code.»

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 these computer giants are alleging the companies are denying legitimate overtime wages to computer programmers, code writers, and other IT professionals 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.

If you are a code writer, or computer professional and feel that a computer company, or any other California employer is not paying you the overtime wages you are entitled to, please join your fellow employees in registering your complaint with United Employees Law Group at www.collectovertime.com.
