The Power Equalizers
No opponent is too big
Workers in California deserve to receive fair wages. The employment laws in this state provide great protections for employees, including the right to be paid a minimum wage and overtime. Unfortunately, there are times when employers disregard the laws and take advantage of their workers. At the Marcarian Law Firm, P.C., our team is here to help when you need a Los Angeles Wage and Hours/Labor Attorney. Our lawyers have extensive experience handling complex employment law cases, and we know what it takes to investigate these claims to secure the compensation that our clients are entitled to.
One of the most often violated wage and hour laws in California revolves around providing a minimum wage for employees. As of January 1, 2021, the minimum wage is as follows:
Minimum wage increases will continue at $1.00 an hour each year until 2023, which will cap out at $15.00 an hour for every worker, regardless of how many employees there are within an individual company.
In addition to minimum wage law violations, we also know that employers in California regularly try not to pay their workers the overtime they are entitled to. Under California law, all non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay if they work more than 8 hours in a single day or more than 40 hours in a single workweek. Overtime pay in California is time and a half (1.5) of their regular wage. Additionally, workers in this state will be paid double their regular wages if they work more than 12 hours in a single day or more than 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day during the workweek.
These are certainly not the only issues under which wage and hour disputes may arise. Other violations can occur in Los Angeles and throughout California, including:

Marc McCulloch: The Marcarian Law Firm has had a great deal of experience dealing with California’s wage and hour laws. We have represented several individuals in class actions against some fairly sizable employers in the state of California. We do know the wage and hour law and stay abreast of that. We are a small law firm and pay individual attention to our clients. In other words, from intake to the trial, we are with our clients every step of the way. We do not have an associate prepare the case and hand it off to a trial attorney we never met until two days before the trial. You will get to know us, and we will get to know you. We feel that is a great advantage.
