Wage claims in California are a common dispute. Often they arise when an employee discovers unpaid overtime, unpaid sick or vacation time, or even being forced to work through Federally mandated meal and rest breaks. These claims arise in offices, restaurants, carwashes, factories, grocery stores and the entertainment industry. You work hard only to discover that your paycheck is missing hours or wages, and sometimes the paycheck never comes at all. Not being paid for your work hours is illegal and many Federal and California State laws protect workers from being taken advantage of by their employers.

If your claim is small, you may be able to resolve the matter directly with the Labor Commission of California. However, often these claims can run into thousands of dollars of lost or unpaid wages over the course of a year. With labor penalties (a penalty assessed against your employer for withholding your wages) this amount can be even greater.
