Wage and Hour Lawyers in Los Angeles
Wage and hour law is in place to make sure you, as a worker, are paid accurately for the actual amount of work you perform. According to the US Department of Labor, wage and hour laws cover areas including the minimum wage, overtime pay, independent contractor status, and unpaid bonuses, among others. If you or a loved one is not being paid correctly by an employer, contact the experienced wage and hour attorneys of The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker.
Minimum Wage
All workers in Arizona and California are guaranteed a minimum hourly wage. Even tipped workers in Arizona, who may be paid less than the actual minimum wage per hour (California tipped workers are required to be paid the minimum wage, regardless of tip income), are required to at least make an equivalent to the minimum wage when those tips are added in. Arizona has a 2009 minimum wage rate of $7.25/hr and will increase annually. California has a 2009 minimum wage of $8.00/hr. If you or a loved one is not receiving at least the minimum wage in compensation, contact our offices.
Unpaid Bonuses
Contracted bonuses may be conditional and only paid under certain circumstances. But if those circumstances are met and the bonus is not paid, the employer may be breaking the law. If you or a loved one was entitled to a bonus that was not paid, give us a call to discuss your options.
Tip Pooling
Tip pooling, or the combining of tips to distribute equally amongst workers is not an illegal practice. However, certain employees in California are not eligible to receive any portion of tip funds. In California, management, supervisors, and owners are not allowed to receive a share in tip revenue.
If you or a loved one is a California worker who's place of employment has a policy of tip pooling, but provides part of that tip money to supervisors, management, or company owners, contact The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker.
