Core Employment Law and Overtime Practice Areas

Workers seeking to find an attorney with exceptional depth in California labor regulations can rely on United Employees Law Group across key areas of employment litigation:

Unpaid Overtime, Off-the-Clock Work, and Wage Theft

Employers frequently skirt overtime requirements through off-the-clock work demands or inaccurate pay calculations. Serving as skilled wage and hour lawyers, the firm prosecutes nonpayment of daily and weekly overtime under California Labor Code section 510, failure to pay double time, and improper regular rate calculations for employees receiving shift differentials or non-discretionary bonuses.

Missed Meal Breaks and Rest Period Violations

California mandates uninterrupted thirty-minute meal breaks and paid ten-minute rest breaks during work shifts. When companies force staff to work through lunch or fail to provide legally mandated premium pay for missed breaks, their attorneys pursue substantial penalty wages on behalf of individual workers and class action groups.

Worker Misclassification and Independent Contractor Abuse

Companies frequently misclassify non-exempt workers as salaried exempt managers or independent contractors under 1099 status to evade minimum wage, overtime, and tax obligations. The firm applies California's strict ABC test and labor statutes to reclassify workers and recover unpaid benefits and wages.

Wrongful Termination, Harassment, and Discrimination

Retaliation against employees who assert their labor rights is illegal. Acting as assertive wrongful termination lawyers, harassment lawyers, and workplace discrimination lawyers, the team represents workers subjected to sexual harassment, disability bias, racial discrimination, pregnancy prejudice, and unlawful retaliatory firings.
