Wage & Hour Claims

Employment Law Attorney in Los Angeles

Federal and California laws establish many requirements for the payment of wages. Workers are provided with a minimum wage, and the laws generally specify that employees must be paid for all time worked and cannot be required or allowed to work during unpaid time. There are strict guidelines that establish payment of overtime wages for hours worked over set limits in any given week. Employers who violate the wage laws can be held accountable under law with the help of a seasoned Los Angeles employment lawyer. Cases of this type commonly result in financial compensation, both for unpaid wages and in damages awarded by the court.

Denial of wages for hours you have worked is a violation of your employee rights, and you should not hold back from taking legal action out of concerns over retaliation. If your employer takes any type of punitive action against you in response to your attempt to recover unpaid wages, it will only contribute to your case, and if you are fired you can also file a claim for wrongful termination. The court will hear your case whether you are complaining of unpaid overtime, bonuses, commissions, or vacation pay, as well as if your case is based on not being allowed breaks that are provided for by law. It is vital to conduct thorough preparation in this type of lawsuit, including detailed documentation of your hours and company policy, testimony and relevant laws. We can help you with this.
