Representing Employees Who Are Treated Unfairly
Unpaid overtime and other violations of the California Labor Code and San Francisco's minimum wage ordinance affect a broad cross-section of workers in San Francisco, from employees in fast food restaurants to engineers at high-tech startups. Affected employees may be entitled to compensation beyond the wages they are owed, including attorney fees.
Fair compensation is the law in San Francisco and throughout California. At The Epstein Group in the heart of San Francisco's Upper Market/Castro District, our lawyers will help you collect all of the wages you are owed. If you think you have been treated unfairly by your employer, we offer a free initial consultation to determine if you have a case.
What are Examples of Unpaid Wages and Overtime Violations?
There are a number of pay practices that are illegal under both federal and California law. Some examples include:
- Not paying overtime if you work more than eight hours in a day or more than 40 hours in a week, unless you are a manager or administrative employee
- Misclassification of employees as managers or administrative employees to avoid paying overtime
- Withholding bonuses or commissions owed to you when you leave your job
- Not paying you for wait time (time you are on call but not actually working)
- Failing to provide you meal or break time
- Not paying you minimum wages (San Francisco has a higher minimum wage than the rest of California)
- Making you wait more than 24 hours for your last paycheck if you are terminated
- Bounced paychecks
Our attorneys handle wage and hour claims on a contingency fee basis. We also handle class action lawsuits against employers who systematically treat groups of employees unfairly.
Does my employer have to pay me for unused vacation time? In California, accrued vacation is payable upon your termination.
