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
