- Unpaid Overtime Claims: The FLSA and California law requires employers to pay time-and-a-half to non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a week. An employer must be held accountable for an overtime violation.

What is a Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit is a type of legal proceeding where one or several individuals sue on behalf of a larger group of people who have similar claims. As multiple employees (co-workers) are often subject to similar violations, many wage and hour claims are handled in class action lawsuits. To be certified as a class in California, the following criteria must be met:
- The proposed class must be large enough that individual suits would be impractical.
- There must be questions of law or fact common to the proposed class.
- The claims/defenses of the representative parties must be typical to the proposed class.
