San Diego Attorneys Represent Employees in Wage and Hour Claims

Does your employer routinely ask you to work off the clock to avoid paying overtime? Are you being paid less than minimum wage when all the hours you actually work are taken into account? Does your employer claim that you are an independent contractor in order to avoid paying you a fair salary for the work that you perform? Or do they claim that you are a manager and therefore "exempt" from wage and hour laws, when in fact you do the same work as hourly employees?

These and other wage and hour disputes involving both pay and benefits cause many California workers to question whether they are being treated fairly on the job. At Keegan & Baker, LLP, our lawyers welcome the opportunity to discuss your situation and concerns, and make recommendations on how you can assert your rights as specified by California laws.

Our employment law attorneys have helped hundreds of employees throughout California to be compensated for wage and hour violations by scores of employers.

Contact us to schedule a consultation with an employment lawyer.

Employees often seek our advice and assistance when they believe they are shortchanged in their paychecks or the hours they are required to work seem excessive. Typical scenarios that San Diego workers report include the following:

  • Tip pooling schemes whereby waitstaff's tips are shared with managers or dishwashers
  • Misclassifying hourly employees as "managers" (allowing employers to avoid paying overtime) or as "independent contractors"
  • Failing to allow regular lunch breaks and rest breaks
  • Requiring that employees be "on call" and ready to come to work within a short period of time
  • Comp time off given in lieu of overtime pay

If your employer asks you to work off the clock or report to work and then to leave early without proper pay, contact an attorney at the law offices of Keegan & Baker, LLP.

Even if your complaint seems minor, you may be able to join a class action lawsuit along with other workers and receive the compensation you deserve while sending a message to your employer and other employers throughout California.
