Wage & Hour Violations

What are Wage and Hour Violations?

Wage and hour violations occur when employers fail to properly compensate employees according to California's strict labor laws. California has some of the most employee-friendly wage and hour laws in the nation, including higher minimum wages and stricter overtime rules. Mohseni Law Group helps workers recover unpaid wages and penalties when employers violate these requirements.

Types of Wage and Hour Violations:

• Unpaid Overtime: Failure to pay time-and-a-half for hours worked over 8 in a day or 40 in a week.

• Missed Break Violations: Not providing required meal breaks or rest periods, or pressuring employees to work through breaks.

• Misclassification: Incorrectly classifying employees as exempt or as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime.

Common California Wage and Hour Issues:

• Minimum Wage Violations: Paying below California's minimum wage, which is higher than federal minimums.

• Off-the-Clock Work: Requiring work before clocking in, after clocking out, or during unpaid breaks.

• Final Pay Violations: Failing to provide final paychecks within required timeframes upon termination or resignation.

Why You Need Legal Representation for Wage and Hour Claims:

• Complex Calculations: Determining the full amount of unpaid wages, penalties, and interest owed.

• Class Action Potential: Many wage violations affect multiple employees and may warrant class action treatment.
