California employees are protected by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) office. The purpose of this sector of the state government is to promote labor laws that ensure just pay for employees as well as other fair business practices. The attorneys at LaGuardia Law isare ready to go to bat for you to defend you against wage and hour violations that can affect your ability to receive a just work schedule and wages.

Unfortunately, employers may try to cut corners and curb expenses by wrongfully classifying an employee as exempt from overtime, failing to provide legally required rest periods and meal breaks, demanding off-the-clock work, failing to pay overtime, and not providing accurate pay stubs. These are all violations of a person’s legal right to receive fair wages and work hours.
