If your employer has denied you full and fair compensation for the hours you have worked, it may be treating your colleagues the same way. A class action or a representative action is a lawsuit that allows an individual or small group of individuals to bring a claim to court on behalf of a large group of people.
At Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP, our lawyers represent clients who have experienced illegal and unfair employment practices. As trusted trial attorneys serving Los Angeles and California, we are aggressive advocates for people whose employers have violated wage and hour laws.
Class action lawsuits can be brought regarding a variety of wage and hour violations, including:
- Failure to pay overtime
- Misclassification of nonexempt employees as exempt, or employees as independent contractors
- Causing employees to work off the clock or shaving minutes off of hours worked
- Making nonexempt employees take unpaid rest breaks, work through meal breaks or perform work during unpaid time
Class actions are often helpful in the context of wage and hour violations by employers because an employer's failure to pay an employee wages or reimbursements may only account for relatively small amounts of compensation owed to an employee.
We Know The Courts — We Spend A Lot Of Time There
There are many law firms that handle employment matters, but few with the resources and confidence to take cases to trial. We aggressively pursue the best possible resolution for our clients, whether that means securing a quick settlement or presenting a case to a jury in court. Other law firms in California turn to us when they need established trial lawyers, and we are proud that our experience has helped clients in Beverly Hills and throughout the Los Angeles area.
