Like any legal case, you should expect your employer to present vigorous defenses against any wage and hour claims that you bring. You want California employment law attorneys helping you who know how to prove your claims.
California sets out potentially costly penalties for employers that violate Labor Code laws, and this is in addition to any unpaid wages or other damages owed to employees. Further, wage and hour violations can make the news, and reports that a company does not uphold the rights of employees can seriously damage its reputation in many situations.
It is no surprise that employers try to avoid liability for employment law violations whenever possible, which makes it more important for employees to have their own legal advocate. Consult with our California employment law attorneys about a possible case today.
Like any other type of legal matter, employers have the right to defend against unpaid wages and other Labor Code claims brought by current or former employees. Many companies also have legal teams ready to fight against liability at all costs, and they have many defense tactics. Some might include:
In addition, if you experienced retaliation for a wage and hour complaint, an employer will almost certainly give another reason for the adverse employment action. It is then your job to prove the reason provided is pretextual and that the employment action did, in fact, constitute unlawful retaliation.
There is always a chance that you will face opposition when it comes to your wage and hour claim, and going up against your employer’s team of attorneys can be a highly challenging task. You want to have your own California employment law attorney standing up for you to prove your claim.
In the face of employer defenses, we can gather and present evidence to support your claim, which might include:
When your employer denies a violation that you know occurred, it can be shocking and disturbing to you, and it is natural to not know how to respond or what to do next. This is where our experienced legal team comes in, as we know how to stand up to employers and their defenses – both to state agencies and in court.
