Wage-and-Hour Overview

California Lawyers: Wage-and-Hour Claims

Wage-and-hour laws require employers to provide certain rights and compensation to employees. One highly important aspect of wage-and-hour laws is the right to overtime pay. Other important wage-and-hour issues include:

  • Adequate meal and rest breaks
  • Compensation for all hours worked
  • Misclassification of an employee's overtime eligibility
  • Vacation pay
  • Expense reimbursement, including travel costs, equipment and mileage

If you have not been adequately paid for time worked, expenses, overtime, compensation you have earned, or if you have been denied your right to meal and rest breaks, we encourage you to contact an attorney at Appell | Hilaire | Benardo LLP.

Important Information About Your Rights

Many people who have a valid wage-and-hour claim choose not to contact a lawyer because they fear they do not have adequate documentation to prove their claim. Although written documentation is helpful, it is not necessary. A wage-and-hour claim may be based entirely on the verbal testimony of an employee who has no written documentation.
