One of the most vexing problems creating enormous financial exposure in class actions is the issue of exemptions from overtime requirements. In California, state law is often more stringent than federal law, and out-of-state companies with business operations in California may incur substantial risks just by following the same business practices they applied in other states. We can realistically evaluate who is and who is not exempt from overtime requirements and provide positive business oriented solutions to minimize risk without unduly sacrificing effectiveness. We have experience with alternative work weeks and commission and piece work arrangements that can be very effective in reducing exposure to overtime claims.
