Wage-Hour Litigation
W a g e a n d H o u r L i t i g a t i o n
Wage-Hour law is currently the most contentious area of Employment Law in California, and represents the bulk of employment-related law suits filed. The Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission Order regulations create a labyrinth of issues for employers, and the laws sometimes defy common sense or workplace realities.
EAG defends businesses in every type of wage-hour claim, from single-plaintiff claims to class actions, from Labor Commissioner claims to suits filed in state or federal court. EAG also provides compliance guidance to employers, to prevent claims from ever arising and putting companies in the best position to defend themselves if they do.
