Why Do You Need an Experienced San Diego Wage and Hour Dispute Attorney for Employers?
There has been a substantial increase in the number of wage and hour disputes, PAGA actions and plaintiff’s lawsuits over the past few years in San Diego and Southern California. If you are an employer it’s probably not a matter of “if” but a matter of “when.”
There are many reasons for a wage and hour dispute between an employer and their work force. Disputes arise over many aspects of employment, including but not limited to:
- Commission Disputes
- Allegations of Unpaid Overtime
- Alleged violations of minimum wage
- Compliance with meal and rest breaks
- Questions associated with the California Fair Pay Act
- Distortion or abuse of federal employment law including ADA and FMLA
If you have become aware of a potential dispute with an employee, or have been contacted by a plaintiff’s attorneys or a federal agency or a California agency such as the Labor Commissioner regarding an “informal hearing” it should raise immediate red flags.
