Wage and Hour Violations

California and Federal law provide wage and hour protections to eligible California employees. Employer violations that cost you money can include but are not limited to:


  • Failure to pay the minimum wage
  • Failure to pay overtime or double time to eligible non-exempt employees
  • Forcing employees to work “off the clock”
  • Failure to pay the prevailing wage on qualifying government contracts
  • Misclassifying an employee as exempt from overtime protections when the employee’s salary or duties disqualify them from such exemption
  • Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor
  • Denying employees rest or meal breaks and not paying the associated premium pay for missed rest or meal breaks
  • Improper calculation of the regular rate of pay
  • Not paying employees for earned vacation time
  • Not reimbursing employees for certain work-related expenses
  • Withholding earned commissions and bonuses
  • Failure to timely pay all wages due upon separation ("waiting time penalties")
  • Failure to pay wages in violation of a collective bargaining agreement


Further, it is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who assert their rights under the California Labor Code and/or Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).  Depending on the violation and particular facts, remedies for wage and hour violations can include recovery of the wages owed, interest, liquidated damages, penalties, and attorney fees and costs of suit along with penalties assessed against the employer.  Use the contact form or call 909-247-6742 to set up a free phone consultation.
