Popular Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
  • How do I know if my employer owes me overtime in California?
    California law requires employers to pay overtime at 1.5x your regular rate for any hours worked over 8 in a single day or over 40 in a week, and 2x your regular rate for hours worked over 12 in a day. This is more protective than federal law, which only requires overtime after 40 hours per week. If your employer is only applying the federal standard, they may owe you additional wages.
  • What is the statute of limitations for wage claims in California?
    The deadline depends on the type of claim. Most wage and hour violations have a three-year statute of limitations under California law. Claims brought under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) must be filed within one year. A written contract claim may have a four-year window. Because these deadlines vary, contact us as soon as you suspect a violation.
  • Can my employer retaliate against me for filing a wage claim?
    No. California Labor Code §98.6 prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who file wage claims, complain about wage violations, or cooperate with a Labor Commissioner investigation. If you experience demotion, termination, or reduced hours after asserting your rights, you may have a separate retaliation claim on top of your wage case.
  • Can I file a wage claim if I am an undocumented worker?
    Yes. California wage and hour laws protect all workers regardless of immigration status. Employers cannot use immigration status as a shield against paying wages lawfully owed. Your right to back pay, overtime, and penalties applies equally.
  • How much does it cost to hire L&F Brown?
    Nothing upfront. We handle wage and overtime cases on a contingency basis, and California law often allows prevailing employees to recover attorney’s fees from the employer. Your initial consultation is free.
