    Pasadena Wage and Hour Lawyer

    When your employer underpays you, overworks you, or cheats you out of your rightful wages, you need the help of an experienced employment attorney. At LNN Trial Lawyers, our Pasadena wage and hour lawyer fights to hold employers accountable for every dollar they owe.

    What Are Common Wage and Hour Violations?

    While the state’s labor laws are strict, some employers still try to skirt them. Some of the most common violations our wage and hour attorney in Pasadena may help with include:

    • Not paying overtime when you work over eight hours in a day or 40 hours in a week
    • Misclassifying you as an independent contractor to avoid paying benefits or overtime
    • Failing to provide proper meal and rest breaks
    • Withholding final paychecks after termination or resignation
    • Paying below minimum wage or using illegal tip credits

    Employers often illegally pressure workers to stay late, skip breaks, or work outside of normal hours.

    Unpaid Overtime and Unauthorized Work

    One of the most common issues our clients face is unpaid overtime. You are entitled to time and a half pay if you work more than eight hours a day or 40 hours a week. After working 12 hours a day, the pay rate should increase to double time. Nevertheless, many employers often make excuses to avoid paying extra.

    Our lawyers who handle wage and hour issues could calculate exactly what your Pasadena employer should have paid you and pursue back pay with interest.

    Violations Surrounding Meal and Rest Breaks

    Employees are often forced to eat while working, take late breaks, or skip meals entirely. The state requires employers to give you a 30-minute meal break during shifts lasting longer than five hours and a 10-minute rest break every four hours.

    We frequently represent employees who have dealt with meal and rest break violations. Our pay and hour dispute attorneys in Pasadena could help you identify patterns of behavior even if you do not have perfect time records. Testimony from coworkers and internal communications often provides all the evidence we need.

    Misclassification and Unpaid Wages

    Some companies label workers as independent contractors or exempt employees to avoid their legal obligations. While misclassification allows employers to deny you overtime, benefits, and other rights, most workers qualify as employees under the state’s ABC test.

    If your employer controls your schedule, provides your tools, and directs your job performance, you are likely an employee. If you suffer from misclassification, one of our attorneys may help you file a claim through the California Labor Commissioner or pursue a civil lawsuit for damages.

    Recoverable compensation may include:

    • Unpaid wages and overtime
    • Interest on unpaid wages
    • Waiting time penalties
    • Attorney’s fees and costs

    By filing a claim, you not only recover what you are owed but you also discourage future exploitation. Our Pasadena trial lawyers are not afraid to challenge large employers or corporate legal teams over wage and hour violations. We have successfully handled claims for workers dealing with the same mistreatment you face, helping them recover substantial back pay.

    More on Employment Law

    Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.
    Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.
    Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at LNN are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.
    Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At LNN, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:
    • Class Actions
    • Harassment
    • Wage & Hour Disputes
    • Discrimination
    • Sexual Harassment
    • Wrongful Termination
    If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
    A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.
    It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.
    When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At LNN, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served. Companies big and small often take advantage of employees, failing to pay them sufficient wages or creating an unsafe, hostile work environment. We believe that workers deserve better. Our firm is dedicated to helping those that have suffered at the hands of their employers.
    We believe that employees deserve to be treated fairly; anything less is unacceptable and unlawful. When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment. If your employer has engaged in any form of harassment, discrimination, or abuse, you should not wait. Get the legal help you need now.
