Wage and Hour Cases We Handle

California’s wage and hour laws are designed to ensure that employees are treated fairly and compensated properly for the work they perform. Unfortunately, many employers fail to follow these laws, leaving workers underpaid, overworked, and denied basic rights. At KJT Law Group, we stand up for employees across the Inland Empire who have experienced wage theft or labor law violations. From unpaid overtime to missed breaks, our team has the knowledge and proven track record to fight for the wages and justice you deserve.

Minimum Wage Violations

California has some of the strongest wage protections in the nation, yet many employers still fail to pay the required minimum wage. At KJT Law Group, we fight for workers who have been underpaid or denied their rightful earnings. Whether your employer is paying below the state or local minimum wage, misclassifying you as an independent contractor, or using other tactics to cut corners, we are here to help you recover every dollar you are owed.

Overtime Violations

If you work more than 40 hours in a week, you may be entitled to overtime pay. Unfortunately, many employers try to avoid paying overtime by misclassifying employees as “exempt” or simply refusing to pay time-and-a-half. Our team has extensive experience uncovering wage theft and holding employers accountable. We’ll investigate your case thoroughly and fight aggressively to secure the overtime pay you deserve.

Meal and Rest Break Violations

California law requires that employees receive uninterrupted meal and rest breaks during the workday. Too often, employers ignore these rights by pressuring workers to skip breaks or remain “on call.” These violations are serious, and employees may be entitled to additional compensation. We don’t let employers take advantage of hardworking people; we roll up our sleeves and fight to protect your right to fair treatment in the workplace.

What We Do for You

At KJT Law Group, we know that facing wage and hour violations can be overwhelming. That’s why we take the burden off your shoulders and handle every aspect of your case with precision and care. From the moment you contact us, you work directly with an experienced employment law attorney; you aren’t shuffled off to an assistant or passed between departments. We: 

  • Investigate thoroughly, reviewing pay records, time sheets, and employer policies to uncover violations
  • Gather evidence, interview witnesses
  • Build a strong, tailored legal strategy designed around your unique needs, concerns, and goals

Unlike many firms that operate like high-volume settlement mills, we intentionally limit our caseload to ensure every client receives the full attention they deserve.

FAQs

What Can I Recover?

What you can recover depends on the specifics of your case. However, we commonly recover the following for clients:
Unpaid Wages – Recovery of any minimum wage, regular pay, or overtime pay that was unlawfully withheld.
Meal and Rest Break Premiums – Additional pay for each day an employer failed to provide legally required breaks.
Attorney’s Fees and Court Costs – Employees are often able to recover legal fees, making it more affordable to pursue justice.
Compensation for Retaliation – If your employer retaliated against you for asserting your rights, you may recover damages for lost income and emotional distress.

Can I Afford a Lawyer?

Yes. Our team takes cases on a contingency basis. You don’t pay us unless and until we win your case.

Can My Employer Fire Me for Filing a Claim?

No. Firing an employee for filing a wage and hour claim is illegal. If your employer fires you or otherwise punishes you for taking action, our Inland Empire wrongful termination lawyers will fight for you and seek justice on your behalf.
