Californian Computer Giant Alleged of Violating Labor Laws

There are people who believe that high-tech workers are the sweatshops workers of our times. These people won`t be surprised to hear that Sun Microsystems is alleged, by programmers working for the company, of violating California Labor Laws and not paying overtime. Contrary to people mentioned above, the high-tech community was surly surprised by the news.

Workers for Sun Microsystems are alleging the company is denying legitimate overtime wages to computer programmers and code writers by not correctly calculating employees? overtime hours, in defiance of California Labor Laws. State labor laws also require in 2006 that if a California computer professional earns less than $47.81 per hour or the annual salary equivalent of approximately $99,445, they may be entitled to overtime pay. Claims for overtime may be asserted for the past 3 and sometimes 4 years of employment.

If you are a code writer, or computer professional and feel that Sun Microsystems, or any other California employer, is not paying you the overtime wages you are entitled to, you can join your fellow employees in registering your complaint at the Lawyers And Settlements web site.
