The Department of Labor is making it easier for employees to file complaints against their employers for unpaid or underpaid hours of work. They have developed a cell phone app that will track employee hours for them and calculate what they should be getting in pay.
If the employer is not payingthe proper amount the employee can go to the DOL and file a lawsuit and use this app to enter the amount of money owed to them.
To counter this make sure your timekeeping systems are in place and that ALL employees are using them. Non-exempt employees MUST get (in CA) 1 to 2 10-minute breaks per over 6 hours of work and a 30 minute lunch break AWAY from their work station. There are penalties for not allowing employees to get these required breaks.
If you are not sure your timekeeping systems are recording time properly please contact our office and we will be happy to review your situation.
