If You Feel Cheated at Work, You're Probably Not Alone
Despite some of the strongest employment rights laws in the nation, California employees are routinely cheated out of rightful earnings by employers who put profits before the law. Businesses know several tricks to avoid overtime pay and benefits. Employees are routinely discriminated against and terminated for illegal reasons. If you feel as if your employer is cutting you short on your earnings or money owed to you, or if you feel you have been victimized by discrimination, chances are you aren't alone.
Free Consultation ▪ No Attorney Fees Unless You Recover Compensation
We are the California class action employment law attorneys of Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik.
You won't suffer retaliation and you may be eligible for extra money. As the first person to initiate a certified class action lawsuit against a business, your employer will be careful to treat you fairly once you have an attorney. You also will be eligible to receive significant compensation as a *service award. The *service award money is in addition to the settlement or money a jury awards the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
Our lawyers focus on class action claims involving labor laws. Our primary focus is on wage-and-hour claims against employers. If you are unsure whether you are part of an injured class, talk to us. Contact our offices for a free consultation about your wage-and-hour case. The law strictly prohibits retaliation for sticking up for your legal rights.
Our lawyers also handle employment law claims based on illegal activity such as discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination. These claims can be brought as class action lawsuits or as individual lawsuits.
Since 1999, employees have turned to our law firm when they needed to fight back. We handle class action lawsuits that involve items such as the following:
- Exempt and non-exempt certification: Employers often save overtime pay by illegally assigning workers to salaries statuses. Just because you are paid a salary does not mean you are not entitled to overtime pay.
- Unpaid wages: Businesses save money by illegally restricting vacation pay or time off, or by making illegal wage reductions.
- Illegal employment agreements and severance packages: Don't sign anything until you have talked to an experienced attorney. A severance agreement may include illegal or one-sided provisions on the side of your former employer.
