UNPAID WAGES, FAILURE TO PROVIDE PAYSTUBS, AND NOT PAYING OVERTIME
Has Your Employer Failed to Pay You the Wages You Earned?
We have represented many employees and successfully got them paid the wages they properly earned. Did you know it is illegal for your employer not to provide you with paystubs for each paycheck? In California, employers are legally required to provide most non-exempt employees with a written, itemized wage statement, or paystub, with each paycheck, detailing earnings and deductions. This is mandated by California Labor Code Section 226.
Has your employer refused to pay you overtime? In California, overtime pay is required for most non-exempt employees who work more than 8 hours in a workday or more than 40 hours in a workweek. Additionally, California law requires overtime pay for the first 8 hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek. Overtime is generally paid at a rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay, with double-time pay (twice the regular rate) required for hours exceeding 12 in a workday or for hours worked beyond 8 on the seventh consecutive day.

WRONGFUL TERMINATION
While California is an at-will state, meaning parties are free to terminate employees with or without cause, there are several instances where an employer CANNOT terminate an employee.
Below are some examples of wrongful termination:
DISCRIMINATORY TERMINATION:
In California, it is unlawful for an employer to terminate or fire an employee based on religious, racial, gender, or other protected characteristics that are constitutionally safeguarded. If you believe that you have been the subject of such a discriminatory firing call NEEMA today for a free analysis of your case.
HARRASMENT BASED TERMINATION:
Harassment may come in the form of insults or degrading comments targeting a person’s protected characteristics such as race, religion, gender or other constitutionally protected characteristics.
Harassment may be sexual in nature such as lewd and/or lascivious behavior especially from a superior. It may also be the result of inappropriate touching of your person or via a constant invasion of privacy such as through unnecessary and repeated one-on-one meetings or closed-door meetings.
Harassment may come in the form of receiving extra work that is not part of your job duties,
Harassment may also come in the form of stalking or lying in wait by a superior.
Whatever form Harassment presents itself in, it is illegal and may entitle you to compensation. To find out whether your case qualifies as a workplace harassment suit call Neema today to have a free analysis done for you.
WORKPLACE RETALIATION AND/OR WHISTLEBLOWER:
Where an employee reports unlawful or wrongful behavior that they witnessed at the workplace the State of California affords such a “whistleblower” protections from retaliation. If you believe that you have been retaliated against or terminated because you acted as a whistleblower, call Neema and his team today to discuss the matter at no charge.
TERMINATION DUE TO MEDICAL CONDITION:
If you have taken time off of work due to a medical condition and have been terminated while on leave of absence you may be entitled to compensation for wrongful termination. To see if your termination was illegal and/or wrongful, contact Neema today for your free consultation.
