It is against the law in California for an employer to change your hourly rate on the basis of the number of hours you work. Obviously your employer is attempting to cheat you out of your wages. If your employer is trying to avoid paying your overtime pay at time and a half, it is even more serious.
You can file an action with the Labor Dept yourself, if it is a small amount. If it is several thousand dollars, you can obtain the services of an attorney to assist you.
