Two of the most common types of employment law cases we handle include: 

Wage and Hour Cases

Many employers underpay their employees or expect them to work off the clock to support the company’s bottom line. This is not only unfair to workers but also illegal. Issues related to hourly pay, minimum wage, overtime, and breaks are known as wage and hour violations. These violations occur in many ways: 

  • The employer pays less than the required minimum wage.
  • They do not pay appropriate overtime pay for hours worked.
  • They do not provide the required rest and meal breaks.
  • They require employees to work off the clock.
  • They fail to pay other compensation as required.

We handle these cases for individuals or groups of workers, depending on the circumstances. Do not hesitate to call us for a free consultation and we can help you discover if you were the only employee affected or if others may want to file a case, too. 

Some of our recent wage and hour case recoveries include: 

  • $6.9 million secured for department store workers who were denied breaks and overtime pay
  • $1.8 million class action settlement for meal and rest breaks
  • $1 million class action settlement for off-the-clock work
  • $1 million for workers at a janitorial staffing agency 
  • $650,000 for security workers who were not allowed to take regular breaks

Wrongful Termination Cases

While California has at-will employment laws that allow companies to terminate employees for virtually any reason, they cannot terminate you for an illegal reason. An unlawful termination occurs when a worker is fired, forced to quit, or dismissed from a contracted position for a reason that violates a state or federal law. Typically, this involves: 

Some of the recent payouts in wrongful termination cases we’ve handled include: 

  • $200,000 for a client who faced harassment and wrongful termination
  • $170,000 for wrongfully terminated worker whose rights were violated

Our attorneys will help you understand the potential recoverable damages in your case and how to know if the company makes a fair offer.
