Los Angeles Wage and Hour Dispute Lawyers
You have a right to be paid minimum and overtime wages for the work you do. At Mathew & George, we understand that for many people, with the number of hours in a day or week and the amount of passion that is put into their work, their work often defines part of their identity. It is unfair and illegal when that hard work is not properly awarded through the payment of fair wages.
Orange County, California, Unpaid Overtime Attorneys
Many times, employees are hesitant to speak up when they are forced to work outside regular working hours. They don't want to get a poor reputation for not being a "team player," or a hard worker, and then face the repercussions from their colleagues or employer. Therefore, they continue to take the abuse, and as a result, their paycheck suffers.
- Have you been forced to work through meal or rest breaks?
- Have you been forced to work before clocking in at the beginning of your shift?
- Are you required to work after clocking out at the end of your shift?
- Does your employer have an inaccurate payroll overtime reporting system?
- Are you ineligible for overtime wages because your employer inaccurately designated you as a salary-based pay employee?
Our law firm protects the interests of employees in wage, hour and salary disputes such as these.
Our Los Angeles wage and hour dispute attorneys stand up for the rights of employees who are unfairly taken advantage of by their employers or the company for which they work. We identify violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other state and federal labor laws, and we pursue the back pay/back wages clients deserve for their hard work.
Employee Misclassifications — Should You Be Entitled to Overtime?
Employees with greater responsibility often have different pay arrangements than other employees. Supervisors and other individuals in a supervisory capacity frequently are paid by salary, while subordinates are paid by the hour. Employees with salary-based pay are ineligible for overtime. Sometimes, employees are given the illusion of having a better job with a better title and a salary. Consequentially, this results in their ineligibility for overtime hours.
Our Orange County unpaid overtime lawyers examine these situations carefully to identify if the employee is truly in a supervisory capacity, with supervisory duties, or if the title is merely an illusion to avoid paying the employee overtime wages. We demonstrate this flaw and pursue the back wages to which you are entitled.
