"My boss texted me after work… so I answered it."
Sound familiar? That's not just annoying, in California, that's compensable work time. 🚨
If you're an hourly employee, ANY work-related call, text, or email outside your scheduled hours must be paid. Even a short message. Even a quick question.
And if it pushes you past 40 hours? That's overtime.
Your employer can't just text you off the clock for free.
Think you're owed unpaid wages?
