Comprehensive Wage and Hour Litigation and PAGA Claims

California maintains some of the most robust worker protection statutes in the United States, yet employers frequently deprive workers of rightfully earned wages. Operating as experienced wage and hour lawyers and employment and labor lawyers, Aaron Bartz and his team take aggressive legal action against systematic payroll violations. From individual claims to expansive representative actions under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), the firm pursues full restitution, statutory penalties, and interest.

• Pursuit of unpaid overtime and double-time wages calculated accurately under California Labor Code regulations.
• Litigation for off-the-clock labor, unlawful timecard rounding, and unauthorized paycheck deductions by skilled wage and hour lawyers.
• Statutory penalties for missed, shortened, or interrupted 30-minute meal breaks and 10-minute rest periods.
• Reclassification of workers improperly designated as exempt employees or independent contractors.
• Aggressive enforcement of waiting time penalties for overdue final wage payments following resignation or termination.

Assertive Representation for Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

Losing employment due to illegal employer motives can shatter a worker's financial stability and emotional health. As dedicated wrongful termination lawyers, the firm defends professionals fired in retaliation for complaining about unsafe working conditions, reporting illegal corporate misconduct, or filing workers' compensation claims. Bartz Law Group holds retaliatory employers accountable under California whistleblower protection statutes, demanding back pay, lost future earnings, and emotional distress damages.

Fighting Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

Every worker is entitled to an environment free from hostility and prejudice. Acting as steadfast workplace discrimination lawyers and harassment lawyers, the firm prosecutes claims under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). The legal team represents victims subjected to discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, age, medical condition, or religion, relentlessly seeking punitive damages when companies fail to take preventative measures.

Consumer and Employment Class Actions

When corporate misconduct impacts hundreds or thousands of workers simultaneously, class action lawsuits provide the collective power needed to compel institutional change. Aaron Bartz has successfully prosecuted significant class actions addressing deceptive workplace practices, systematic wage theft, and fraudulent corporate policies across California.
