Wage & Hour
The firm handles all types of wage and hour litigation, both in California and throughout the United States. These cases include claims for overtime pay arising from employer decisions to improperly classify groups of salaried employees (such as computer workers or insurance claims representatives) as exempt from state and federal overtime laws, claims for overtime pay and straight pay where hourly employees are required to perform work “off-the-clock” either before or after the work day, and claims for lunch or rest break pay for California employees. The firm has been involved in groundbreaking litigation that has restored over a hundred million dollars in lost overtime wages to employees who have been misclassified, including computer technical workers at IBM and Computer Sciences Corporation and insurance claim representatives. The firm also has restored unpaid wages to chicken processing workers at Perdue Chicken and to check cashing agency employees.
