Fighting for Caregivers’ Rights: Wage Theft, Overtime Pay & Justice in California

Caregivers are the backbone of our communities, providing essential support to families and individuals in need. However, many California caregivers are underpaid, denied overtime pay, or misclassified, leading to lost wages and unfair treatment.

If you’re a caregiver, nanny, or domestic worker who suspects wage theft or improper compensation, you have the right to take action. At CaregiverOvertime.com, we’re committed to fighting for your rights and helping you recover what you’re owed.

Common Wage Violations for Caregivers

California labor laws are designed to protect caregivers from exploitation. Unfortunately, many employers violate these laws, leading to:

  • Unpaid Overtime: Caregivers must be paid overtime after working 9 hours/day or 45 hours/week in private homes, and 8 hours/day or 40 hours/week in care facilities.

  • Misclassification: Employers sometimes classify caregivers as independent contractors instead of employees to avoid paying overtime and benefits.

  • Sleep Time Violations: Live-in caregivers may be entitled to compensation for overnight shifts.

  • Flat Rate or Salary Pay: If you’re paid a flat rate without accounting for hours worked, you could be owed significant back pay.

Your Legal Rights as a California Caregiver

Under the California Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, caregivers are entitled to fair wages, including overtime pay and protections against wage theft. Even undocumented workers have the same legal protections under California law.
