One of the primary allegations leveled by former employees is that they were “expected to work nights and weekends in order to perform their base jobs.” They show California Courts evidence of after hours emails and phone records where they accessed company voicemails or spoke with other employees, you the employer or a customer after working hours. California Courts tend to lean to the employee’s point of view unless the employer can stand strongly upon solid policies and procedures, consistently applied and well documented. The Lawyer for Employers team will investigate the allegations, gather offsetting evidence and the testimony of appropriate witnesses and stand firmly against these claims on your behalf.
