Unpaid Wages — Kane Law Firm

California has enacted many laws to curtail the epidemic of wage theft estimates to cost

workers over $13.5 billion per year. We can help your figure out if you have been paid

properly or not and, if not, what you should be entitled to. While the rules are complex,

the basics are simple. At will employees are entitled to: (i) at least minimum wage for all

hours worked; (ii) unpaid meal breaks and paid rest breaks; (iii) overtime and double

time; and (iv) a wage statement explaining your pay and how it was calculated.

Employees can collect both unpaid wages and civil penalties. Employees can even

collect unpaid wages and/or civil penalties for other employees under the Private

Attorney General Act or via a Class Action.

When we help you think through your potential claims, we will help you understand both

what are your options and your best choices to maximize your recovery.
