Failure-to-Pay Minimum Wage Attorney!

There are many different minimum wage rates in California. Minimum wage varies by city, county, and industry. For example, fast food workers, healthcare workers, and hotel workers have a different minimum wage than the default minimum wage. For these reasons, it is essential you contact our office at(619) 320-3000 if you think you might not be receiving minimum wage pay.While there are a few exceptions, state law requires employers to pay almost all employees the minimum wage or higher. If you aren’t receiving the minimum wage, you may be able to file a claim against your employer. Only an experienced attorney can determine the value of your claim, which may include the wages you are owed, interest, penalties and other damages.

Failure to pay minimum wage can happen even if technically you are supposed to be paid more than minimum wage. For example, a worker earning $30 an hour ends up earning less than minimum wage if they are required to work 70 hours a week because 30 of those hours must be paid at $45.00 an hour and if the employee was only paid $2,100.00. Additionally, employees who receive piece rate pay and commission only pay are often the victims of sub-minimum wage theft. Our law firm has also handled a number of cases through binding arbitration in which employees work off-the-clock and are not paid for time worked. This happens when employers require employees to keep working after they have clocked out. This might happen at the end of a shift, during a clocked out meal break, or from home. These situations can also lead to overtime pay.

This is not how paystubs are supposed to look like anymore. Improper itemizations on a paystub create a potential $100 penalty, up to $4,000
