Some companies may have a hard time with their record keeping practices, meaning they need to invest in a biometric time clock to make sure they don't violate Fair Labor Standard Act laws. But for the organizations that don't already have access to that technology, adherence to those laws is crucial. Employees who aren't receiving proper wage have the right to turn to the judiciary system to make sure they are compensated.

This was the case with many social workers in the state of California as approximately 100 of them filed a lawsuit to receive proper overtime wages for their time and attendance. The number of plaintiffs has doubled since the beginning of the case and even more are predicted to join the lawsuit. Some workers are claiming they haven't received payment for upwards of 15 hours of overtime per week since 2010.

Many of the employees were faced with long days because of the cases they worked, with some even thinking they were exempt from overtime because it was just a necessity for the job. However, this is not accurate and workers across the state are looking to get paid for the time they have put into their careers.
