Unpaid Wages or Overtime?

Call 888-8-MEPEGO We’ll Help You Get What You’ve Earned.

Every employee deserves fair pay for their hard work. If your employer has withheld wages, denied overtime, or misclassified your position, you have legal rights. At Jacobs Law Firm, APC (MePego), we fight for workers across Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks to recover unpaid wages, missed breaks, and overtime pay — and to hold employers accountable for labor law violations.

Understanding Wage & Hour Violations

California’s labor laws are among the strongest in the nation but many employers still violate them, intentionally or otherwise. You may have a claim if you’ve experienced any of the following:

Unpaid overtime or double-time hours
Misclassification as an “independent contractor”
Denied meal or rest breaks
Off-the-clock work or forced unpaid tasks
Unpaid commissions, bonuses, or tips
Incorrect pay statements or delayed final pay

Our team reviews your pay records, schedules, and job classification to identify every violation and calculate the full compensation you’re owed.

You May Be Entitled To

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still file a claim if I’m no longer employed?

Yes. You can file a wage claim even after leaving your job — as long as it’s within three years of the violation.

What if I was paid a salary — not hourly?

Many salaried workers are wrongly classified as “exempt.” We’ll review your duties to see if you’re actually owed overtime or breaks under California law.

How much can I recover in a wage claim?

You may recover unpaid wages, penalties, interest, and in some cases, double damages for willful violations.
