We all may joke from time to time about that "stingy boss" who cuts a few corners, but it's no laughing matter for thousands of California workers who are routinely denied pay and benefits that are mandated by California law. Did you know that California LABOR LAW offers some of the best protection for workers in this country?
California has very strict guidelines for overtime pay, meal breaks, and rest breaks -- and imposes PENALTIES on employers who deny them to workers. Yet, day in and day out, some California employers routinely deny their employees these rights by claiming that the employees are "EXEMPT" and not entitled to the protection of the state's LABOR LAWS. If a California worker is misclassified as "EXEMPT", he or she may lose thousands of dollars per year in unpaid wages or missed meal and rest breaks. The savings to unscrupulous employers are so great that many are willing to risk stiff penalties by misclassifying employees as "EXEMPT".
Our experience has shown that the "EXEMPTION" can be confusing and is often misunderstood by employers and employees alike. We can help you determine if you have been misclassified as "EXEMPT" or have been improperly denied wages or breaks. We can pursue your unpaid overtime or compensation for lost meal or rest breaks, often at no cost to you unless we recover. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CURRENT EMPLOYEE to recover unpaid wages denied you in the past (however, your claim will be restricted to the statute of limitations period).
TAKE A MOMENT to see what we are doing to help workers all over California. And, if you are a current or former employee of one of the following companies, be sure to check out the details. |
