Los Angeles Unpaid Overtime Lawyer

Los Angeles Meal and Rest Break Violation Attorney

Most workers face a very distinct power imbalance between themselves and their employers. People need their jobs, and even if they are unpleasant or their employers are unfair to them, most people do not feel that they have much choice beyond accepting the situation if they want to be able to keep putting bread on the table for the ones they love.

But, workers do have rights. There are laws that govern workers’ pay and breaks such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and various California labor laws. These laws dictate certain conditions of employment, including overtime and breaks. The Law Offices of Anthony Choe can offer expert advice and representation to make sure your rights are protected. Contact a skilled Los Angeles unpaid overtime Lawyer at our firm to help you understand labor laws and make sure you get the pay you deserve.

Are You Not Being Paid For Overtime?

In some situations, employers simply fail to pay workers for overtime. In others, they require work that amounts to overtime but may refer to that as a pre- or post-shift prep work. In other situations, employers misclassify employees as being exempt from overtime laws.

Not all types of employees can be offered salaries. Salaried employees do not receive overtime. You may be wrongly receiving a salary when you should actually be an hourly employee with the opportunity for overtime. Also, your employer may have wrongly categorized you as an independent contractor who, again, is not eligible for overtime. If this is the case, you could be entitled to compensation. In addition, you may also have rights to workers’ compensation if you’ve been injured while working.

Are You Getting All Of Your Legally Mandated Breaks?

Sometimes, employers force workers to work through their rest or lunch breaks. This is not legal and is a theft of your wages. Even simply being asked to “man the phones” while you are on your lunch break is a theft of wages. If you are doing any work at all during your mandated break times, you deserve to be paid for it. If this is happening to you in Los Angeles, it’s important to contact a lawyer who can help you understand your rights and ensure you’re compensated fairly.
