San Diego County Attorneys for Unpaid Wages
Your employer may believe it is complying with the law when violations are actually occurring. Depending on your classification as an exempt or nonexempt worker, your employer must follow different laws.
Nonexempt workers must be paid overtime wages for work that amounts to more than 40 hours in a week or eight hours in a day. They must be allowed a certain number of meal and rest breaks, and they must not work off the time clock.
Exempt workers are paid salaried wages. They do not have specified break times, and they do not require overtime pay, but they are entitled to the timely payment of wages they earn, including commissions.
At The Law Offices of Laura J. Farris, we help employees seek compensation they fairly deserve in a range of disputes, including:
- Failure to pay wages correctly
- Failure to pay minimum wage
- Failure to pay overtime or the overtime rate
- Denial of meal and/or break time
- Requirement to work off the time clock
- Requirement to share tips with management
- Failure to categorize nonexempt and exempt staff properly
- Refusal to timely pay after a worker has left the company
