ARE YOU A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRUCK DRIVER WHO WAS DENIED WAGES?
A class-action lawsuit was filed last week on behalf of several truck drivers who were denied wages and suffered from other employment laws violations. The trucking company, Total Transportation Service, Inc., allegedly cheated workers out of wages and refused to provide them with the proper meal and rest periods. The company has refused on comment on the allegations.
If you are a truck driver in the Bay Area, you are entitled to be paid in accordance with the law. This means that you must be paid at least minimum wage. California’s minimum wage is currently set at $8 per hour. In addition, unless you belong to a class of exempt workers, your boss must pay you overtime if you are entitled to it. Overtime is classified as any hours over eight hours per day or 40 hours per week. Any hours that are worked over the typical workday are classified as “overtime” and should be paid at the rate of one and one half times your regular rate of pay.
