Wage and Hour Law

Case Study

"I represented thousands of retail office supply workers in a large state-wide class action case against their national chain employer. The federal lawsuit alleged failure to provide proper meal and rest breaks. We did an aggressive pre-litigation work-up and successfully mediated the case early on. I was especially pleased with the eight figure settlement and the injunctive relief we obtained for the benefit of all future employees to correct the office supply company's rampant illegal practices."

Graham S.P. Hollis

It happens every day and in every line of work.

Violations of California's complex and ever-changing wage and hour laws are a regular occurrence. Most employees are uninformed of their legal rights under the Labor Code. Most employers, even the well-intended, are ignorant of their legal responsibilities.

The experienced attorneys at GraceHollis regularly litigate the claims of individual employees as well as class actions involving the rights of hundreds, and at times thousands, of mistreated workers. Failure to pay minimum wages and overtime, misclassification of non-exempt employees, failure to provide timely uninterrupted meal breaks, and illegal workplace rules involving uniforms and vacation pay are but a few of the many wrongs we have righted.

We also advise conscientious businesses in this rapidly changing area. Seemingly simple mistakes can lead to major problems which can result in penalties, litigation, and hefty fines. By periodic review of employee handbooks, and pro-active counseling of key management, expensive and embarrassing missteps can be avoided.
