Are you searching for proven lawyers with the skill to defend employers in wage and hour litigation? San Diego employers face increasing risk related to the potential for wage and hour violations. For the past few years, the number of wage and hour related lawsuits and regulatory audits and investigations has substantially increased. New laws imposed upon California and San Diego employers recently have increased the importance of reviewing every aspect of an employer’s strategy, including the employment contract, employee handbook, policies and procedures, as well as the education of the management team.
The Watkins Firm is uniquely positioned to provide wage and hour advice and protection for our clients and employer defense when a dispute or lawsuit develops. We work with our clients to ensure proper payment and accounting of all wages including:
- minimum wage
- overtime
- rest, meal and non-productive time
- piece-rate compensation
We defend employers in wage and hour litigation relating to the misclassification of employees as independent contractors, and other lawsuits brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or California wage and hour laws and regulations. We are often able to negotiate and/or resolve complex employee-related litigation including PAGA actions and other wage and hour matters while protecting our client’s goals and objectives. New laws allow employees to bypass contractual agreements regarding arbitration and other stipulations and you need a proven employer defense attorney who can develop and implement a strategy to limit your exposure and resolve the matter efficiently.
We invite you to review the strong recommendations of our clients and contact the Watkins Firm or call 858-535-1511 for a complimentary consultation today. We will discuss our wage and hour review services, and the steps required to bring your company into compliance with all of the changes imposed upon San Diego employers. Reduce your exposure to wage and hour violations and tighten the policies and procedures of your organization to increase profitability and reduce employment disputes.
