We Handle All Types of California Employment Law

Unpaid Overtime

Has your employer failed to pay you at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, as required by federal and California labor laws?

Meal & Rest Breaks

Has your employer failed to provide legally mandated paid rest breaks (10 minutes per 4 hours worked) or unpaid meal breaks (30 minutes for shifts over 5 hours) as required by California Labor Code and IWC Wage Orders?

Failure to Pay Final Pay Check

Has your employer not provided you final wages, including accrued vacation pay, by the legally required deadline (immediately upon termination or within 72 hours for resignation) under California Labor Code Sections 201-203?

Minimum Wage Violations

Has your employer paid you less than the state’s mandated minimum wage, currently $16.50 per hour for most employers as of January 1, 2025, per California Labor Code Section 1182.12?

Misclassification

Has your employer incorrectly classified you as an independent contractor, denying you protections and benefits like minimum wage, overtime, and breaks under California labor laws, such as the ABC test established by AB 5?

Whistleblower Protection

Are you an employee who faced retaliation for reporting or refusing to participate in illegal activities, safety violations, or other workplace misconduct, protected under laws like California Labor Code Section 1102.5?

Retaliation

Has your employer punished you as an employee for engaging in protected activities, such as reporting workplace violations or taking leave, violating laws like California Labor Code Section 1102.5 or the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)?

Discrimination

Has your employer treated you as an employee or applicant unfairly or differently based on protected characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation, violating the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)?

Wrongful Termination

Has your employer fired you for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, retaliation, or in violation of employment contracts or public policy, despite the state’s at-will employment doctrine?

FMLA Violations

Has your employer denied or interfered with your right to take protected leave for family or medical reasons under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) or the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)?

Harassment

Have you been subjected to unwelcome conduct based on protected characteristics, like race or gender, creating a hostile work environment, in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)?

Reasonable Accommodations

Has you employer failed to provide appropriate workplace adjustments or modifications for an employee’s disability or medical condition, as required by the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination happens when an employer illegally fires an employee in violation of federal, state, or local laws. Even in at-will employment states like California, there are clear legal protections for workers.

Wrongful termination can occur for various reasons, including discrimination based on race, gender, disability, religion, or age; retaliation against employees who report harassment, unsafe working conditions, or illegal company practices; and firing employees for taking protected actions, such as filing workers’ compensation claims or requesting family leave.

If you believe you were fired as a retaliation measure or based on discrimination, call (415) 449-0050 for immediate help or fill out the form for a free, no-obligation case review.

Goldberg Loren Attorneys

You Work Hard for Your Money - We'll Work Hard For You

When facing employment law issues like overtime, meal and rest break violations, or unpaid wages in California, choosing Goldberg & Loren means trusting a dedicated team with decades of experience and a proven track record.

Our attorneys combine deep knowledge of California’s complex labor laws with a client-first approach, ensuring personalized strategies tailored to your unique case.

Known for aggressive advocacy and compassionate support, Goldberg & Loren fights tirelessly to secure the compensation and justice you deserve, making them the ideal choice for resolving your employment disputes effectively and efficiently.

Unpaid Overtime

Goldberg & Loren employment lawyers can be instrumental in resolving unpaid overtime disputes by leveraging their expertise in California’s labor laws, which require non-exempt employees to receive overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 8 in a day or 40 in a week, and double time for hours over 12 in a day.

If your employer has failed to pay these rates or misclassified you as exempt, a lawyer can assess your case, gather critical evidence like pay stubs and time records, and build a strong claim to recover owed wages, plus potential penalties and interest. We navigate complex legal processes, negotiate with employers, or litigate in court to ensure compliance with the law.

Goldberg & Loren, for instance, brings decades of experience in handling such disputes, offering personalized strategies to hold employers accountable. Their attorneys work diligently to secure fair compensation, including statutory damages for willful violations, while guiding you through every step with clear communication and aggressive advocacy, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome.

Rest and Meal Break Violations

Our employment law attorneys can provide critical support in addressing rest and meal break violations in California, where state labor laws mandate that non-exempt employees receive a 30-minute uninterrupted meal break for shifts over 5 hours and a 10-minute paid rest break for every 4 hours worked.
 
If your employer denies these breaks, requires you to work through them, or fails to provide proper conditions, our attorneys can step in to investigate and document these violations.
 
By collecting evidence such as work schedules, time records, and employee testimonies, they build a compelling case to pursue compensation, including premium pay (one hour of wages per missed break) and potential penalties under California’s Labor Code.

Failure to Pay Final Pay Check

California Labor Code Section 203 imposes “waiting-time penalties” when employers fail to provide final paychecks on time (at termination for involuntary separations or within 72 hours for resignations).
 
Employees can recover up to 30 days’ worth of wages at their daily rate, in addition to the unpaid wages. Goldberg & Loren’s lawyers analyze termination records and pay histories to demand these penalties, ensuring employers face financial accountability for delays.
Can my employer fire me for reporting them?

No, your employer cannot legally fire you for reporting unpaid overtime, as this is protected under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the United States. The FLSA prohibits retaliation against employees who file complaints or participate in investigations regarding wage and hour violations, including unpaid overtime. If you’re fired for reporting unpaid overtime, you may have grounds for a retaliation claim and could seek remedies like reinstatement, back pay, or damages.

Get A Free Consutlation

Protect your rights

Under the FLSA, you may receive an additional amount equal to the unpaid overtime wages as liquidated damages, effectively doubling the back wages. For instance, if you’re owed $5,000 in unpaid overtime, you could receive another $5,000, totaling $10,000.
