California Caregivers - Are You a Victim of Domestic Worker Wage Theft?

As a caregiver in California, you dedicate your time and effort to supporting others. But are you being compensated fairly for your hard work? Wage theft is an all-too-common issue faced by caregivers, leaving many underpaid and undervalued.

At CaregiverOvertime.com, we are here to help you understand your rights, recognize wage theft, and take action to reclaim what you’re owed.

What Is Domestic Worker Wage Theft?

Wage theft occurs when employers fail to pay workers what they are legally entitled to under California labor laws. This includes:

  • Overtime Pay Violations: You must receive overtime pay for working over 9 hours a day or 45 hours a week in private homes, and over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week in care facilities.

  • Unpaid Sleep Time Wages: Employers may not deduct sleep hours without proper accommodations and adherence to labor laws.

  • Improper Flat Rate or Salary Payments: Caregivers on a flat rate or salary may still be entitled to additional compensation for overtime.

How to Recognize Wage Theft

Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Am I being paid overtime for working long hours or multiple shifts?

  2. Does my employer deduct wages for sleep time without providing adequate rest or accommodations?

  3. Am I being denied fair pay for 24-hour shifts?

If you suspect your employer is underpaying you, it’s time to act.

Your Rights Under California Law

Under the California Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, caregivers are entitled to:

  • Overtime Pay: After 9 hours/day or 45 hours/week in private homes and 8 hours/day or 40 hours/week in care facilities.

  • Double Time: For working over 12 hours in a day in care facilities.

  • Fair Compensation: For all hours worked, including sleep time when applicable.

Your immigration status does not affect your rights—California law protects all workers.
