Wage & HourUnpaid Overtime

Do restaurant workers get overtime pay in California?

Answer

Yes. Restaurant workers are non-exempt employees entitled to California overtime (1.5x after 8 hrs/day, 2x after 12 hrs/day). Tips do not count toward minimum wage or overtime calculations. If your employer pays below the minimum wage counting tips, that is a wage violation.
