Are You a Victim of Wage Theft?

If you suspect that your employer has denied you the wages you rightfully earned, it is crucial to take action. Common examples of unpaid wage violations include:

• Unpaid “off-the-clock” work – Employers requiring work before or after shifts without compensation.
• Unpaid meal and rest breaks – Not allowing employees to take legally mandated breaks or failing to compensate them properly.
• Unpaid overtime – Failing to pay 1.5x or 2x wages for overtime hours worked.
• Unpaid mileage & expenses – Employees paying out of pocket for work-related expenses that should be reimbursed.
• Unpaid minimum wages – Paying employees below the legal minimum wage, including tipped workers.
• Misclassification of employees – Wrongfully labeling employees as independent contractors to avoid paying fair wages and benefits.

If any of these apply to your situation, you may have a legal claim to recover back pay, penalties, and additional compensation.

Why Unpaid Wages Are a Serious Issue

When employers fail to pay wages, it directly impacts workers’ financial security. Employees depend on their paychecks to cover rent, bills, medical expenses, and other essential needs. Wage theft can cause financial hardship, stress, and lost opportunities, making it essential to take action as soon as possible.

Your Legal Rights Under California Law

California labor laws require employers to pay all wages owed to employees in a timely manner. Under the California Labor Code and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees who have experienced wage theft may be entitled to:

• Full repayment of unpaid wages
• Interest and penalties for delayed payments
• Compensation for missed meal and rest breaks
• Reimbursement for work-related expenses
• Additional damages if employer misconduct is proven

Employers cannot legally retaliate against employees who file wage claims. If you have been demoted, fired, or harassed for asserting your wage rights, you may be entitled to additional compensation for retaliation.
