A Los Angeles judge recently awarded $80,000 to a local man who filed a lawsuit against his former employer at a Handy J Carwash, claiming he was forced to work overtime but was not allowed to record the hours. The man claimed in the suit that with his reduced pay, he was not able to pay his rent or living expenses. The judge ruled the carwash owners were liable for “$50,000 in back wages for failing to provide proper employment records and an additional $30,000 in damages.”  Sam Quinones, LA Times 06/23/2011

If an employee missed work time due to a personal obligation, and decides to make-up the lost time later in the week, the employer is not obligated to pay overtime if the employee does not work more time 11 hours on the make-up day.

Granting an employee’s request to work make-up time is at the employer’s sole discretion.
