How competent of a HR department and legal team does this company have who would allow such illegal employment practices. The law in California plainly states that after a 40 hour, 5-day work week, on the 6 th day the pay rate is time and one half. On the 7th day, after working 6 days straight, the pay rate is double time. All reputable labs and hospitals know this and practice this. This is also why adequate staffing is vital. Especially in the cytotechnology department where LabCorp employees are paid what is referred to as premium pay.Premium pay is more akin to shift differential pay and not overtime. Whether salaried or not, these rules still apply. It does not matter in most cases. Other labs have been sued for this and had to go back 3 years, repaying ever bit of unpaid overtime in a lump sum settlement. This is a major corporation. Why would you take such risks? It is irresponsible.
Is it a wonder why things are going the way they are?
