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.

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.
