Wage and hour laws are integral to protecting employee rights. These laws ensure employees are appropriately compensated for their time and help protect against worker exploitation. However, violations of these laws are, unfortunately, all too common, leaving employees without the wages and benefits they rightfully deserve. Whether you are an employee who has been wronged or an employer navigating complex labor and employment laws, the Miller Shah wage and hour dispute lawyers in Los Angeles can help you protect your interests.
Wage and hour disputes encompass a range of legal issues relating to the payment of wages, the classification of employees, and compliance with state and federal labor laws. These disputes often arise when employers fail to meet their obligations under laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or other state-specific regulations.Â
Under the FLSA, most employees are entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. However, disputes can arise when employers misclassify employees as exempt from overtime, alter or fail to maintain accurate time records, or simply refuse to pay overtime.Â
Every employee is entitled to be paid the minimum wage established by law. Unfortunately, some employers attempt to bypass these regulations by improperly categorizing workers as unpaid interns or finding other unlawful pretexts to pay substandard wages.Â
Misclassification occurs when employers improperly label workers as independent contractors or exempt employees. This practice denies workers benefits like overtime pay, paid leave, and worker benefits and protections. Â
