Wage and Hour ClaimsWage and Hour ClaimsEmployment ClaimsEmployment Claims - Employment Claims refer to legal actions brought by employees against their employers for various reasons such as discrimination, wrongful termination, wage theft, and harassment.Employment Misclassification ClaimEmployment Misclassification Claim - An employment misclassification claim is a legal action initiated by an employee who alleges that their employer has improperly classified them as an independent contractor, rather than an employee. The claim typically arises when an employer misclassifies an employee to avoid providing benefits or complying with certain employment laws, such as minimum wage and overtime requirements. Employees who are misclassified may be entitled to back wages, benefits, and other compensation.California Family Rights Act ClaimCalifornia Family Rights Act Claim - A California Family Rights Act (CFRA) claim is a legal action initiated by an employee against their employer for not complying with the CFRA, which provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for certain family or medical reasons, such as the birth or adoption of a child, the employee's own serious health condition, or to care for a seriously ill family member. The claim typically arises when an employer denies an employee's request for CFRA leave or interferes with an employee's right to take CFRA leave, or retaliates against an employee for exercising their right to CFRA leave. Employers can face liability for violating the CFRA, which can result in significant damages for the affected employee.Unlawful Wage Withholding ClaimUnlawful Wage Withholding ClaimCommission Pay Violation ClaimCommission Pay Violation ClaimMisclassification of Exempt Status ClaimMisclassification of Exempt Status Claim - A misclassification of exempt status claim is a legal assertion that an employer has incorrectly classified an employee as exempt from overtime pay and other protections under labor laws, when they should be classified as non-exempt.

These breaks can include rest breaks and meal breaks, and the claim typically arises when an employer either denies or interrupts breaks or does not provide them in accordance with applicable labor laws. In some cases, employers may also be liable for break violations if they do not compensate employees for certain types of work performed during breaks.Failure to Provide Employment Records ClaimFailure to Provide Employment Records Claim - A failure to provide employment records claim is a legal action initiated by an employee against their employer for not furnishing access to, or copies of, certain employment documents as required by law.

These laws require that public accommodations, such as stores, restaurants, and other businesses, be accessible to individuals with disabilities, and provide accommodations such as accessible parking, ramps, and signage. The claim typically arises when a business does not comply with applicable disability access laws, which can result in barriers to access for individuals with disabilities. Businesses can face liability for violating disability access laws, which can result in significant damages for the affected individual and required changes to make the premises accessible.Misclassification of Independent Contractor Status ClaimMisclassification of Independent Contractor Status Claim - A misclassification of independent contractor status claim is a legal assertion that an employer has incorrectly classified an employee as an independent contractor, thereby denying them employee benefits and protections under labor laws.
