Unpaid Overtime? How to Claim What You're Owed Under California Labor Law

Got A Question?
We’ve Answers.
We represent workers in wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage theft, retaliation, whistleblower, and failure to accommodate cases across California.
We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case or reach a settlement on your behalf.
Yes, if you were fired for an illegal reason such as discrimination, retaliation, or refusing to engage in unlawful conduct, you may have a valid wrongful termination claim.
You may be entitled to lost wages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and in some cases, attorney’s fees and costs.
Most employment claims have strict deadlines. For example, discrimination and retaliation claims typically must be filed with the DFEH within 3 years, and wage claims must be filed within 3 to 4 years, depending on the violation.
Yes. You do not have to be fired to bring a claim. You can sue while still employed if you are facing ongoing discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or wage violations.
No. California law protects whistleblowers who report illegal or unsafe practices. Terminating or punishing you for doing so is illegal.
A disability can be a physical or mental condition that limits a major life activity. This includes conditions like depression, anxiety, pregnancy-related complications, chronic illnesses, and more.
Yes. Employers must engage in a good faith interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities, including modified duties, medical leave, or remote work where feasible.
Harassment can include verbal, physical, or visual conduct based on your race, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristic that creates a hostile work environment.
Document everything and contact an experienced employment attorney immediately. Early legal intervention can preserve your rights and maximize your potential recovery.
At Employees First Labor Law, we fight exclusively for workers. With millions recovered and a proven track record in high-stakes litigation, we bring aggressive representation, compassionate service, and results-driven strategy to every case.
