Wage & Hour Disputes

When California employers disregard the federal or state standards for wages and hours of work, it generally happens in three main situations:

• Incorrect labeling of a position. When this happens, a person who is labeled exempt is actually doing the job of workers and is entitled to overtime pay.
• Failure to pay lunch and breaks. In this situation, an employer does not allow an employee these breaks.
• Failure to pay all wages due. This situation usually arises when an employee is fired and there are outstanding commissions, vacation pay or unpaid overtime due.

In each of these situations, the result for you is the same: not being paid fairly for your hours of work. You can trust the Sacramento area wage and hour lawyers of HenkLeonard to seek justice for you. Contact us toll free at 866-770-6150 to arrange a free initial appointment.

Protection of Your Employment Rights

In the current troubled economy, violations of wage and hour standards have become all too common. Our clients range from retail and factory workers to people employed in banking, sales and high-tech industries.

The problem of incorrect classification often applies to supervisors or managers, who mistakenly think that being salaried automatically disqualifies them for overtime pay. However, a person who is misclassified as a manager who spends more than 50 percent of her or his time on "worker" tasks may be qualified to receive overtime pay when working more than 40 hours per week or over eight hours in a day.

The legal team at HenkLeonard will work with you to protect your employment rights and to seek all available remedies you are due. Those remedies include wages due, penalties and attorneys fees.
