California drivers may be owed wages for work that was never paid.
Many drivers perform required job-related tasks that are never recorded or paid — time spent in safety meetings, vehicle inspections, paperwork, loading or delivery tasks, post-shift duties, or work calls and messages before or after clocking in or out.
If this happened to you, you may be entitled to unpaid wages, overtime, back pay, and penalties.
