How To File A Wage And Hour Complaint?
Wage and Hour Attorney You may file a claim with
the California Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement (known colloquially as the Labor
Commissioner) or directly sue your employer in
court. A complaint may also be lodged with the
federal agency known as The U.S. Department of
Labor (otherwise known as The DOL). The specific
department within The DOL is known as The Wage
and Hour Division (also referred to as The WHD)
Unpaid Wage Lawyer. There is a statute of
limitations of two years for any violation that
was not willful (meaning that the employer
accidentally violated labor laws) and three years
for any violation that was willful (meaning that
the employer meant to violate labor laws). Note
that an aggrieved employee is entitled to
redress whether the employer meant to short them
on wages or not however, the amount of
financial compensation will vary depending on the
specifics of the situation. Furthermore, there is
no protocol in place to check the immigration
status of the complainant. This is to protect
undocumented workers who are being abused or
exploited by unscrupulous employers. Any company
that is exploiting undocumented workers cannot
use their undocumented status to claim that their
complaint is without merit everyone is entitled
to fair treatment and fair pay under the
law. What Is Employment Discrimination? While
we do not live solely to work, we have to work in
order to support ourselves and our families. But
cases of employment discrimination are all too
common. Discrimination in the workplace can be
emotionally devastating and can also negatively
affect an individuals work and career
opportunities. However, anti-discrimination laws
have helped thousands of employees to become
useful members of society who are financially
independent. The state of California has the
Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which
protects employees from employment
discrimination. Employers generally cannot
discriminate in their hiring, promotion, firing,
and compensation practices, unless there is a
bona fide occupational qualification, which is
basically the quality that an individual must
have in order to perform their job well. If you
believe that your employer has discriminated
against you, you deserve compensation for the
illegal actions. Stop Unpaid Wages is a reputable

• How To Know If You Were Discriminated Against?
• In California, its against the law for an
  employer to discriminate against a protected
  class of job applicants and employees. However,
  most employment discrimination is subtle because
  employers understand that discrimination is
  against the law and could result in a lawsuit. As
  such, they take steps to ensure that they dont
  say anything obvious or put anything in writing
  when dealing with employees and applicants. Even
  so, there may be signs of discrimination. This
  may come in the form of treating certain groups
  of employees different from others. It could also
  involve a change in attitude towards a worker
  when an employer discovers that the employee
  belongs to a certain protected group.
