Common Examples of Wage and Hour Violations in Los Angeles, CA
Loss of income may come to mind when thinking about wage and hour violations, but this is not the only way that employers can keep employees from receiving what they deserve. Breaks, leave pay, and reimbursements can be withheld from employees as well. California has a comprehensive variety of laws and regulations that aim to ensure employees are provided the pay, breaks, and information to which they are entitled. Examples of wage and hour violations that may entitle an employee to damages and penalties include:
- Unpaid wages
- Unpaid overtime
- Incorrectly calculating overtime owed
- Failing to pay commissions owed
- Paying an employee late
- Failing to provide complete wage statements
- Not allowing lunch breaks
- Not allowing rest breaks
- Employment misclassification
- Making illegal deductions
- Retaliation
- Failing to reimburse business expenses
Employees who do not receive the wages they are owed can take legal action against their employer. You have the right to recover what you have worked hard for, and a lawyer can walk you through your options.

Does My Employer Owe Me Money for Unpaid Wages?
Employers are required to pay you for any unpaid wages you are owed. Failing to do so is a violation of your rights and the law. You should report such actions to the State of California Department of Industrial Relations or to the U.S. Department of Labor. When filing a claim, you will need to provide a detailed report of the hours you have worked and what wages you should have received for that time. Documentation such as timesheets, paystubs, and employment information are a few types of evidence you can use to support your claim. Your claim will be reviewed to determine what violations were committed against you. If an investigation reveals you have been paid incorrectly, employers can be penalized for their behavior and required to compensate you accordingly.
