I have an employer who was unaware of the overtime laws (new business/limited english speakers), so did not pay overtime until now. However, they pay for lunches, round up time, give bonuses, pay unworked holidays, and other items that all told, works out to them paying more than what would be required for the overtime. Anyone have an idea if this leaves them with overtime liability ? Or can it all be netted to determine if there is any overtime liability ? This is in California.

Thanks,

:confused:

While it is certainly generous of them to do the things that you have said, it doesn't forego their liability for overtime.
