Wage & Hour Labor Law

The California Labor Code and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are clear: employees should be paid for the hours worked, but employers will ignore the rules and intimidate or confuse their employees to avoid complying. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (”FLSA”) covers many requirements, including such things as strict rules about:

• Failure to pay overtime for all hours worked in excess of eight hours per day, or all hours worked in excess of forty hours per work week
• Failure to record time you are required to be there before or after the shift
• Failure to compensate for meal breaks when the employee is actually at work and not on a break from work
• Allocating the hours worked for different departments even if it is with the same employer to avoid paying overtime

Class Action Overview

A class action is a powerful legal tool which allows ordinary workers to join forces to fight injustice. Class actions differ from regular lawsuits, in that they usually involve many people working together to focus their collective strength against a single wrongdoer, usually a large corporation. Class actions are like King David’s sling used to bring down mighty Goliath. Class actions are a great legal tool to hold corporations responsible for their unlawful conduct.

Wage disputes are often the subject of class action litigation. These disputes frequently arise from the misclassification of employees as exempt and failure to pay appropriate overtime wages. Wage and hour class action lawsuits are attractive class actions because seemingly small individual employee claims can become quite significant when all of the employees join together.
