Wage and Hour

---

Wage And Hour Law - We advise and represent clients in disputes arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and the California Labor Code and related state laws. We emphasize litigation that involves violations of California overtime laws involving misclassification of employees (e.g. classifying an employee as a manager and paying a salary instead of paying the employee for hours worked and overtime wages due). We have successfully litigated class action lawsuits involving statewide and national corporations in violation of California's wage and hour overtime laws. We also advise management regarding legal requirements and compliance with these laws, provide advice and representation during compliance audits or enforcement proceedings, and aggressively handle both employer and employee lawsuits.

You may be entitled to overtime pay if you have been misclassified as a manager, or receiving a "salary" when you are really an hourly employee under the law. If you are not being paid for "wait time" or for mandatory break periods [meal and rest periods], you may also qualify for overtime benefits and a civil penalty all payable by your employer.

Vacation benefits and bonuses are other areas frequently misapplied by employers entitling you to payment for those unpaid benefits. Sick leave and disability leave are benefits that employers also mistakenly fail to recognize entitling employees denied these leaves of absence to monetary compensation.

Best of all, your attorney's fees must be paid by the employer so there is no charge to you for making a claim for the monies due you. Contact our office today for information about these benefits so that we may provide you with a FREE CONSULTATION to determine what your rights are.
