Can you work overtime?

Yes, employees may work overtime, whether authorized or unauthorized. However, employers can discipline an employee if he or she violates the employer's policy of working overtime without the required authorization. In California however, an employee should be compensated for any hours he or she is "suffered or permitted to work, whether or not required to do so." Thus, employers must pay overtime, whether authorized or not, at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight up to an including 12 hours in any workday, and for the first eight hours of work on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.


Can your employer fire you for shop lifting at another store?

short answer: No. But you may be fired for other reasons (listed below). And your employer may keep a closer eye on you to find such reasons. But if they fire you BECAUSE you shoplifted at a different store, then you go to Employee Standards and file a complaint. Quote- "There are a number of circumstances where an employer is not required to give notice of termination. Probably the most important of these circumstances is termination for "just cause." Examples of just cause include:willful misconduct,disobedience, ordeliberate neglect of duty, where these actions are not condoned by the employer. Other circumstances that permit an employer to terminate employment without giving notice include:the employee was hired for a definite term or task of less than 12 months, at the end of which the employment terminates (the 12-month limit for term or task does not apply to oil well drilling or geophysical exploration),the employee was laid off after refusing an offer by the employer of reasonable alternative work,the employee refuses work made available through a seniority system,the employee is not provided with work because a strike or lockout is taking place at the employee's place of employment,the employee is employed under an agreement by which the employee may elect either to work or not to work for a temporary period when requested by the employer,the contract of employment is or has become impossible for the employer to perform by reason of unforeseeable or unpreventable causes beyond the control of the employer,the employee was hired on a seasonal basis and at the end of the season the employment is terminated,the employee is on temporary layoff and does not return to work within seven days after being requested to do so, in writing, by the employer,the employee is in the construction industry,the employee is employed in the cutting, removal, burning or other disposal of trees and/or brush for the primary purpose of clearing land. When an employee's employment is terminated for 'just cause', the employer must pay all wages, overtime, general holiday pay and vacation pay due the employee within ten days following the date of termination. The employer must be able to support their position that there was just cause for dismissal without notice." quote- "The length of notice an employer is required to give depends on the duration of employment and must be in writing. The minimum notice requirements that employers must give are:one week - for employment of more than three months, but less than two yearstwo weeks - for employment of two years, but less than four years,four weeks - for employment of four years, but less than six years,five weeks - for employment of six years, but less than eight years,six weeks - for employment of eight years, but less than 10 years, andeight weeks - for employment of 10 years or more. An employer may choose to give pay for the required notice period instead of providing notice. A combination of written notice and pay in lieu of notice (termination pay) is also acceptable."
