Employee claims for unpaid wages are routinely filed against California employers with the California Labor Commissioner as well as State and Federal Courts.  These proceedings typically include alleged violations of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act as well as alleged violations of California’s wage and hour laws, wage orders and regulations.

The Labor Law Group will defend your Company against employee wage claims for unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, missed meal and break periods, alleged violations of State or Federal prevailing wage laws, alleged misclassification of hourly employees as exempt personnel, alleged misclassification of employees as independent contractors, recordkeeping violations, questioned deductions and related claims.

Defense of Charges with State & Federal Agencies: With far greater resources at the government’s disposal, a governmental investigation can be extremely intrusive and intimidating for any employer.  The Labor Law Group effectively represents your Company’s interests in defense of investigations and enforcement actions brought by the United States Department of Labor, California’s Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and other state and federal agencies.

Strategic Guidance: The Labor Law Group will gladly defend you should you become a defendant in a labor related matter.  However, we pride ourselves in helping you to proactively avoid litigation by conducting a comprehensive review of your current pay practices, to identify potential issues, and to develop and implement a corrective plan to minimize or eliminate claims. The Labor Law Group provides you with direction and support to help your Company maintain proper records required by both state and federal law, comply with overtime, meal and rest period requirements, identify and protect the status of those employees who should be exempt from the overtime requirements of state and federal law, and to make critical determinations as to whether a worker should be classified as an independent contractor or employee.  To control your overtime, The Labor Law Group can also assist you with preparations for secret-ballot elections for alternative workweeks.  We will make certain that your Company complies with the requirements of the appropriate California IWC Wage Order for your industry.
