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

Got A Question?

We’ve Answers.

What types of employment law cases does EFLL handle?

We represent workers in wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage theft, retaliation, whistleblower, and failure to accommodate cases across California.

How much does it cost to hire EFLL?

We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case or reach a settlement on your behalf.

Can I sue my employer for wrongful termination?

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.

What damages can I recover in an employment lawsuit?

You may be entitled to lost wages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and in some cases, attorney’s fees and costs.

How long do I have to file a claim against my employer?

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.

What if I’m still employed — can I still file a claim?

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.

Can my employer fire me for reporting illegal conduct or unsafe conditions?

No. California law protects whistleblowers who report illegal or unsafe practices. Terminating or punishing you for doing so is illegal.

What qualifies as a disability under California law?

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.

Is my employer required to provide reasonable accommodations?

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.

What is considered workplace harassment?

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.

What should I do if I think my employer is violating the law?

Document everything and contact an experienced employment attorney immediately. Early legal intervention can preserve your rights and maximize your potential recovery.

What sets EFLL apart from other law firms?
