Are you searching for a wage and hour defense attorney for a San Diego or California employer? Are there actions you can take right away to limit the potential damages or put a stop to an expensive lawsuit? What are some of the proven strategies for reducing or eliminating the odds of a wage and hour lawsuit before they ever start?

The Watkins Firm has defended employers in the State of California for more than 40 years. California is the most challenging state in which to be an employer. New laws and regulations hit the books every year and California employers are challenged to maintain high standards. Wage and hour violations and resulting lawsuits have skyrocketed over the past few years as plaintiff’s attorneys advertise for potential cases. If you are an employer who has received a letter from an attorney, law firm or state agency you need the immediate advice and counsel of an experienced wage and hour defense attorney from the Watkins Firm.

The best news: the call won’t cost you anything. We provide free consultations to help you to determine the risks you face and immediate actions that might reduce the impact of the situation at hand.

Pro Tip: “If you even begin to suspect you may have an issue with an employee or group of employees, or if you receive anything in the mail from an outside legal group or law firm you need to immediately pick up the phone and call me for a free consultation at (858) 535-1511.  I can tell you quickly if you have a potential genuine challenge or not.  If so, there are actions you can immediately take to limit the monetary exposure or remediate the situation quickly and affordably.

After 40+ years of experience representing and defending employers, I can tell you quickly if the issue at hand is something you should worry about and ACT UPON, or “if that mole isn’t cancer!”  There are almost always actions you can take that will mitigate your exposure or eliminate it altogether.  A little attention and a few dollars now can save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and untold time later.” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner

What are some Strategies for Reducing or Eliminating the Risk of a Wage and Hour Lawsuit?

The old saying “the best defense is a good offense” definitely applies.  The first layer of defense is knowledge.  We invite you to review our recent podcasts Episodes 41 and 42, Employement Law Updates for 2024 and other podcasts that might be of interest to you as an employer.  The employee handbook and your policies and procedures should be consistently updated to reflect changes in the law while adding additional protections for you as an employer.

We help our clients to understand the types of behaviors that signal potential challenges for our employer clients, and provide insight into the situation and specific actions our clients can take to remediate or mitigate risk altogether.  Our clients value our extensive experience across 40+ years and how we work to protect and advise our employer clients in every aspect of their responsibilities as an employer in California.
