Wage and Hour
We help employers navigate the complexities of wage and hour compliance, and represent them before courts and agencies when challenges arise. Our counseling enables our clients to construct and implement employee policies that comply with federal and state wage and hour laws.
We help clients in:
- classifying employees as exempt vs. non-exempt
- classifying workers as employees vs. contractors
- capturing all hours worked for payroll purposes
- advising on time and attendance practices to avoid or lessen overtime liability
- minimizing “off-the-clock” time
- complying with the rules governing travel time and other passive work time
- complying with the minimum wage rules and calculations as they apply to tipped employees
- developing pay, commission, and bonus plans that comply with overtime pay calculation rules
- auditing payroll and time and attendance practices, and resolving any identified issues
- developing policies and practices that are compliant with California’s unique and complex wage and hour laws
- defending misclassification, off-the-clock, and other overtime pay and minimum wage claims
- negotiating and drafting settlement and release agreements pertaining to potential overtime pay and other wage and hour claims
