WAGE & HOUR
Employer Not Paying You?
Employers lie, cheat, and steal from their employees all the time. We mostly see this happening with employee’s wages not being paid as they should.
The most common violations include failure to pay for hours worked, inaccurate calculation of amounts owed, unpaid meal and rest breaks, failure to pay or late payment when quitting or terminated, and failure to pay bonuses or commissions.
These types of matters are generally filed with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Labor Commissioners take these cases very seriously. Let us help you get the money you are owed. Call us for a free consultation.
Some employer’s will try every dirty trick to screw their own employees out of money they are owed, deserved, and are legally entitled to. For example, they might mischaracterize you as an independent contractor, rather than an employee – a critical distinction because an “employee” has far more rights and protections.
In other circumstances, the employer might try to mischaracterize you as an “exempt” employee, rather than a “non-exempt” employee. The same issue regarding benefits applies here as mentioned above.
Our attorneys know how to fight these cases and win! You may be entitled to all of the amounts you were owed, plus interests, costs, attorney’s fees, as well as waiting time penalties which can be substantial.
