Your employer has a duty to protect you and provide you with a safe workplace, but throughout California employers often discriminate, violate minimum wage laws, and fail to pay overtime wages to employees. The good news is that you have powerful civil rights as a Los Angeles employee.
California’s current minimum wage is $16.00 per hour, and the federal minimum is $7.25. However, employers do not have a choice between the two; they must pay the higher of the state and federal minimums. Employers who attempt to short an employee by claiming they are only required to pay the federal minimum are violating the law.
Additionally, employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek are entitled to one and a half times their base wages. If employers make excuses—like the employee should have finished the work in the allocated 40 hours, so overtime is not available—they are violating the law. An experienced employment legal professional in Los Angeles is aware of the tricks an employer may attempt and could aggressively fight to restore fairness to the workplace.
