Combating Wage and Hour Violations

Wage and hour violations can be both frustrating and financially burdensome for employees. While some employers may unknowingly violate these laws due to lack of understanding, others do so deliberately to boost their profits. Regardless of the reason, these actions are illegal and can have a serious impact on workers’ livelihoods.

Employees have the right to take legal action against such violations. At Moon Law Group, PC, our Los Angeles employment attorneys are committed to defending workers’ rights and ensuring justice for those affected by wage and hour violations. As dedicated advocates and experienced litigators, we will help you explore the best strategies to hold your employer accountable and pursue all available legal remedies to maximize your financial recovery.

Common Forms of Wage and Hour Violations

Wage and hour violations can occur in numerous ways.  Some of the most prevalent examples include:

Minimum Wage

Every California worker deserves to be paid at least minimum wage for every hour worked. If your employer isn’t paying you properly, our experienced employment lawyers can help you recover your unpaid wages.

Meal and Rest Breaks

Expense Reimbursement

California law requires employers to reimburse employees for all necessary job-related expenses. If you’ve paid out of pocket for work expenses, our employment lawyers can help you recover your costs plus penalties.

Misclassification

In California, widespread employee misclassification happens when workers are wrongly labeled as independent contractors or exempt, unfairly denying them proper pay, benefits, and critical protections under the law.

Retaliation is Illegal

Employers who retaliate against workers for reporting wage and hour violations are also breaking the law. If you were demoted, laid off, or terminated after reporting a violation, you may be entitled to justice. Our attorneys can help you hold the responsible parties accountable and secure compensation for your losses.

Take Action Before Time Runs Out

In California, employees have a limited timeframe—typically two to four years—to file wage and hour claims. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from recovering the compensation you deserve. At Moon Law Group, PC, we ensure that your case is filed on time and handled effectively.
