People work to hard for their money and companies still trying to cheat them, what a shame! Im glad you got it added to you on your last check. Maybe people will be aware of this in the future... I know i will! thanks for sharing!

did adding it to another check, change the status of that hour as overtime-pay? in CA anything over 40hrs is overtime, holidays time and half (if double time then that and half of regular pay for the holidays).

Unfortunately no it didn't. Where I work they are allowed to make you work 44 hours before they start paying overtime :(
