Employment Class Action Attorneys in Temecula

Helping California Workers Hold Their Employers Accountable

When employers engage in unlawful practices or patterns of behavior, their employees can suffer. If multiple employees suffer similar damages as a result of unfair wages, misclassification, harassment, or other unjust practices, those employees may collectively file a single lawsuit against the employer for damages. This is known as an employment class action lawsuit. A successful class action lawsuit against an employer will result in a monetary award, which will then be divvied up between the plaintiffs, or those who brought the class action.

Common Grounds for Employment Class Action Lawsuits

Unfortunately, many employers and corporations seek to take advantage of their employees. Some of the most common reasons workers bring class actions against their employers involve hour/wage law issues.

Common grounds for employment class action lawsuits in California include:

• Unpaid overtime
• Overtime paid at the incorrect rate
• Failure to pay minimum wage for all hours worked
• Failure to provide mandatory breaks for non-exempt workers
• Unpaid wages for missed meal/rest breaks
• Failure to pay wages in a timely manner
• Failure to provide a final paycheck upon termination
• Misclassification of employees, particularly related to the newly enacted AB-5 bill
• Violations of equal pay laws
• Systematic harassment and/or discrimination (such as disability or pregnancy discrimination)
• Retaliation against multiple employees

Note that this list does not represent all possible scenarios in which employees may bring a class action; any time an employer causes harm to multiple employees, those employees can take legal action.
