Under California law and federal law, employers have certain obligations regarding payment of wages and providing benefits to employees. The law also forbids employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, or disability. We have filed lawsuits on behalf of classes who were not paid proper wages, including failure to pay vested vacation time to terminated employees, and misclassifying employees as "managers," as a way to prevent them from receiving benefits and overtime.
