We Can Help If You Are A Victim Of Wage Theft
The State of California requires that hourly workers are paid correctly for all hours worked. It also requires that independent contractors, as well as salaried exempt employees, are properly classified. The compensation that may be owed due to misclassification or not being paid for all work done can include sales commissions, bonuses, overtime, and regular pay.
Wage theft encompasses a range of circumstances in which workers are underpaid or not paid at all. Employees in any industry can be victims of wage theft.
