Supporting Employees Cheated Of Their Overtime Pay

Being compensated properly for the work you do is expected as part of any job. When employers try to save money, they may turn to breaking wage and hour laws and fail to properly pay their staff. When these issues occur, it is imperative to obtain legal help from an experienced lawyer.

At Schimmel & Parks, APLC, we understand that you have a right to adequate compensation from your employer. With more than 70 years of combined experience, our employment lawyers can provide advice about your situation and your options for recovering the wages you are owed.

Based in Sherman Oaks, we serve throughout Southern California and are always ready to help.

Common Forms Of Wage Violations

Employers sometimes ask employees to “work off the clock” to get all of their work finished. If you are a nonexempt employee who works more than eight hours a day or 40 hours per week, and your boss asks you to work additional hours, then you may be eligible for overtime pay.

Employees who are not exempt are also entitled to both meal and rest periods during the day. For California workers, every five hours of work needs to come with an unpaid 30-minute meal break and a second one if they work more than 10 hours in a day. The second break also needs to occur before the end of the 10th hour of work.

Remedies for wage and hour violations include:

  • Unpaid wages – providing employees with the income they earned after not originally receiving them.
  • Penalties for missed meals and rest breaks – these penalties can help ensure employees receive the rest they deserve during a work day.
  • Waiting time penalties – meant to punish employers for unnecessary wait times.

Our firm is adept in obtaining justice – and compensation – on behalf of those we serve.
