Minimum wage is the lowest amount of pay an employer can offer you. In other words, it is the least amount of income below which an employee cannot offer their labor. As an employee, you are legally entitled to minimum wage.

There are indeed Minimum wage laws meant to protect employees from exploitation. However, this doesn’t hinder employers from violating these laws.

more about minimum wage lawyer in sacramento, ca

Our law firm, Durham and Ng, has arguably the best lawyers if not the very best in Sacramento. Our team is top rated, experienced, and highly skilled. 

Federal and state laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulate the payment of one’s wages. If you have not been paid in full, you might as well be entitled to attorney fees, penalties, and wages not paid. Besides minimum wage, your employer may decline to pay you for the following services:


  • “Off-the-clock” Work
The Fair Labor Standards Act condemns off-the-clock work. However, as an employee, you should be remunerated for all working activities. Some of these activities include wearing and removing of protective gear, maintaining equipment, taking short breaks and so on.

  • Time Taken While Travelling
Whether you are traveling during work hours or when instructed by your employer, those hours summing up are also considered as hours worked. Our minimum wage lawyer Sacramento representing you will have a look at this too.

  • Overtime
This is work done past legally accepted working hours. If an employee works for more than 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, they must be paid for overtime. You should find a way to keep records of your overtime hours.

  • Doing Day-rate Jobs
Employees who work in some industries such as gas and oil industries are paid a set amount of money daily for the hours they work. This payment should be above the minimum wage and an employer found to violate the minimum wage law can be held liable.
​
  • Breaks Provided for by Law 
Rest periods are part of working hours. These periods are indeed compensable thus no amount should be deducted from your wages based on you taking a rest period.

It may prove to be a daunting task to stand for some of the wage claims but we can help you unravel all the mysteries with your cooperation. Some of the documents which we ask from our clients to prove their minimum wage claims include timesheets, employment agreements, pay stubs and any other evidence that could serve as a solid proof. Once we have enough evidence, we can either push for settlement or take the case to trial.
