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. We treat every case as if it were our only one, making you our top priority. Our firm also reflects the diversity of the Inland Empire, offering services in English, Spanish, and Armenian to better serve our community.

When it comes time to fight, we do not back down. We don’t refer out cases—we try them. Whether your employer owes you unpaid minimum wages, overtime compensation, or penalties for denied breaks, we have the proven track record and resources to pursue maximum recovery. With over $100 million recovered and more than a decade of experience, we know what it takes to win.

At KJT Law Group, our mission is simple: protect workers, fight tirelessly for justice, and deliver results that change lives.
