Unpaid Wage Lawsuits

 

Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP represents individuals who are not paid the wages that they are due.

 

Because pursuing a wage and hour lawsuit for a single worker rarely makes economic sense – i.e. the potential recovery does not justify the costs and risks of litigation – large employers have traditionally flouted California’s wage and hour labor laws with impunity.

 

However, for the past decade, we have been increasingly successful in prosecuting wage and hour claims as class action lawsuits.  The class action vehicle allows hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of similarly situated employees to sue an offending employer as part of one overtime lawsuit. The advent of the wage and hour class action lawsuit has empowered every worker in our society to challenge the illegal wage payment practices of their employers on an equal playing field. 

 

One of the most common schemes that we see is when an employer illegally classifies an employee as "exempt" to avoid paying overtime compensation.  Click here to learn if your employer should be paying you overtime compensation.

 

Overtime lawsuits can be pursued by workers who have been denied overtime wages in direct violation of the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.  The act is a federal law which governs not only pay practices, but also the minimum wage and child labor practices. The Department of Labor’s Employment Standards Administration is responsible for enforcing these labor and compensation laws.
