South Pasadena Wage and Hour Attorney
Whether you are classified as exempt or non-exempt, the Wage & Hour laws provide specific requirements for working conditions and payment of wages. In addition to requirements for workplace safety, the Wage & Hour laws required the payment of overtime and meal and rest periods for certain categories of employees. When employers misclassify an employee as exempt or as an “independent contractor,” the employee loses a number of rights and benefits and you may find you need a California employment lawyer.
We have litigated many cases involving the often complicated and convoluted topic of wage and hour issues. If you think you have been classified improperly, contact us: we can promptly review your specific circumstances and calculate your losses.
Independent Contractors
Some employers try to avoid meeting their obligations under the Wage & Hour laws by classifying some or all of their employees as “independent contractors.” If you think you have been improperly classified as an “independent contractor,” contact us. We are experts at determining this issue, based on your individual facts, and getting the wages and benefits you have lost as a result of any misclassification. Contact us so that we can promptly review your specific circumstances and calculate your losses.
