Wage and Hour Violations

Employees can claim unpaid wages, missed breaks, misclassification, and more. We help recover all damages under California law.

Common Wage and Hour Violations We Handle

California has some of the strongest labor protections in the country. Unfortunately, many employers still violate these laws—knowingly or not. We represent employees in cases involving:

Unpaid Wages – Failure to pay for all hours worked, including off-the-clock work or training time
Overtime Violations – Not paying 1.5x or 2x your regular rate for overtime hours
Missed Meal and Rest Breaks – Denying or interrupting legally required breaks without compensation
Employee Misclassification – Classifying employees as “independent contractors” or “exempt” to avoid paying overtime or benefits
Minimum Wage Violations – Paying below the California state or local minimum wage
Off-the-Clock Work – Requiring tasks before or after shifts without pay
Final Paycheck Issues – Not providing all earned wages immediately upon termination or resignation
Time Rounding and Timekeeping Abuse – Manipulating clock-in/clock-out times to reduce hours

Your Right to Compensation

Under California labor laws, employees can recover:

– Unpaid wages and overtime
– Premium pay for missed meal and rest breaks
– Interest and penalties
– Attorney’s fees and costs
– In some cases, additional damages for willful violations
