La desafortunada realidad es que muchos empleadores a menudo utilizan t\u00e1cticas para reducir injustamente la cantidad que pagan a sus trabajadores. Estas t\u00e1cticas, que a menudo son ilegales, pueden incluir la retenci\u00f3n del pago por horas extras para los trabajadores que lo han ganado.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Descategorizaci\u00f3n de los trabajadores:\u00a0<\/strong>Un empleador puede clasificar incorrectamente a los trabajadores, de manera que no tengan derecho a recibir un salario por horas extras. Tambi\u00e9n puede clasificar incorrectamente a los empleados como contratistas o\u00a0empleados no exentos como exentos<\/a>. Cuando los trabajadores no se dan cuenta de que han sido clasificados incorrectamente, pueden perder importantes sumas de dinero por el tiempo extra trabajado.<\/li>\n
  2. Exigir que los empleados trabajen fuera del horario laboral:\u00a0<\/strong>Hacer que los trabajadores realicen tareas antes de entrar a trabajar o despu\u00e9s de salir de la empresa significa que trabajan gratis. Esto puede ser una pr\u00e1ctica com\u00fan en industrias como la restauraci\u00f3n y el comercio minorista, donde se asignan funciones de apertura o cierre. Si un empleador ordena a un empleado que realice tareas mientras no est\u00e1 trabajando, podr\u00eda estar reteniendo su salario.<\/li>\n
  3. Hacer que los empleados trabajen durante los descansos:\u00a0<\/strong>Cuando est\u00e1s de descanso, no deber\u00edas trabajar. Si tu empleador te pide o espera que realices tareas, como contestar al tel\u00e9fono o responder a correos electr\u00f3nicos mientras est\u00e1s de descanso, ese tiempo es tiempo de trabajo y deber\u00eda ser compensado como tal.<\/li>\n
  4. El seguimiento incorrecto de las horas:\u00a0<\/strong>No importa cu\u00e1n meticuloso seas al registrar tus horas de trabajo, es posible que no todos se registren si tu empleador no mantiene registros precisos. Ya sea que ingreses y salgas con un sistema digital o que ingreses manualmente, mantener tus propios registros sobre tus horas de trabajo puede ayudarte a detectar inconsistencias.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Recuerde siempre que usted merece recibir un salario justo por todo el trabajo que realiza. Y cuando se trata de horas extras, trabajar m\u00e1s de 40 horas deber\u00eda significar recibir un salario de una hora y media por esas horas. Si su empleador utiliza estas o otras t\u00e1cticas para falsear la hora de trabajo, podr\u00eda tener derecho a una indemnizaci\u00f3n.\u00a0Caso de horas extras no pagadas<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
