Wage And Hour Law Practice

We have an extensive understanding of the labor codes and employment laws that govern the way employers treat employees. Our firm’s lawyers confidently represent clients who have experienced the below-listed wage and hour issues:

• Not paid the appropriate overtime
• Misclassified as exempt employees when they are actually non-exempt
• Not being given meal breaks
• Asked to forge records regarding breaks
• Compelled to work after hours, on their own time, off the clock
• Taxes are not being withheld from paychecks

Specifically, California law allows you to pursue compensation and penalties for three major types of infraction:

• Misclassification: Classifying a full time worker as a 1099 independent contractor is a massive violation. It allows an employer to not withhold for taxes or provide benefits, and also not pay for overtime. Misclassification will get you compensation for benefits and overtime lost.
• Waiting time penalties: When you quit or are terminated, you are entitled to your full pay of all wages earned on the date of your employment end. If your employer does not have that check for you, there are waiting period penalties until it is ready. For every day late, your employer would owe you a full day of payment.
• Meal/rest break premiums: Under California law, you are entitled to rest breaks during a shift, as well as an unpaid lunch break. Working through lunch, not taking breaks, if this is done at your employers demand, it is a violation of the law. For every missed break, your employer owes you an hour of paid wages.

Each infraction, each violation adds up. Over time these infractions can be large penalties which make for a lucrative case for you. The amount of money your employer owes you will be left with them if you don’t act. We will be there to help.
