If your employer has not been paying you for the hours you have worked, you may have an employment claim. Did you know that California minimum wage is currently $8 per hour? If you are an hourly employee and your employer refuses to pay you minimum wage, he is in violation of California law. In addition, your employer is required to pay you in the form of cash or a type of legal compensation. It is against the law for your employer to pay you in the form of a coupon or token that can only be spent at a store run by your employer. In addition, employee discounts do not count towards the minimum wage requirements.

Your employer must also pay you and co-workers of the opposite sex similarly for similar work. Specifically, if male and female employees perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort, and responsibility, in similar working conditions, the employer must pay the employees similarly. If you think that you have been denied wages owed to you, don’t remain quiet. Get help now!

Wage-based employment claims are not uncommon. Recently, a judgment in a class-action wage-based lawsuit was entered. The judgment ordered a state to pay $42 million to former workers who were allegedly consistently underpaid for their work.
