The Disney overtime settlement ($233M, approved Sept 2025) highlights systematic misclassification: thousands of employees labeled "exempt" when their actual duties didn't meet CA's strict tests. Important reminder: California requires 50%+ time on genuine management/professional duties for exemption. Salary + title ≠ automatic exemption. Many workers are owed years of back overtime. #CaliforniaLaborLaw #WorkersRights #WageTheft #Overtime

PSA for stadium and event workers in California: Your employer must pay you for ALL time you're on duty—not just official shift times. That includes setup, breakdown, security screening, uniform changes, and mandatory briefings. You're entitled to overtime (1.5x) for hours over 8/day or 40/week, plus meal and rest breaks. Off-the-clock work violates CA law. #Labor #WorkersRights #WageTheft #CaliforniaLaw
