ExxonMobil Corporation Secures Summary Judgment in Overtime Pay Matter

Secured summary judgment on behalf of ExxonMobil arising out of claims for overtime pay under Labor Code section 510 based on collective bargaining exception under Labor Code section 514. The appellate court determined the definition of overtime in Labor Code section 510 did not apply to employees covered by a valid collective bargaining agreement providing for overtime pay.  This case was the first to examine the scope of the collective bargaining exemption in Labor Code section 514, confirming that the employer has no obligation to pay daily overtime but is required only to pay the premium specified in the collective bargaining agreement (Vranish v. ExxonMobil Corp.,223 Cal.App.4th 103).
