As an employee, sometimes it feels like the employer has all the power and that there is nothing you can do when the employer is unfairly treating you.

There are many ways for employers to mistreat employees. Often, disputes arise from wage and hour violations.

Examples of wage and hour violations can include:

  • Paying less than the minimum wage;
  • Unpaid wages or overtime;
  • Late payment at separation, regardless of whether separation is due to resignation, layoff, or firing;
  • Unpaid sales commissions and commissions not included in overtime rates;
  • Denials of meal and rest breaks or uncompensated breaks;
  • Failure to reimburse employees for work-related expenses;
  • Improper practices concerning vacation pay and time off; and
    Illegal wage deductions and payroll errors.

What is a Class Action Employment Lawsuit?

Labor law attorneys define class action claims in employment law as a single lawsuit, brought forward by a group of employees, against a single party – often their employer.

The group of plaintiffs bringing the lawsuit is known as a “class”. They will all be people with similar complaints against the defendant.

If the negative actions of an employer have similarly affected a large group of employees, a class action employment lawyer may be able to help. By bringing a class action suit rather than a series of individual cases, it can strengthen the claim of the plaintiffs.

The first major class action suit was the “Pitney Bowes” case in the 1970s where women were suing their employer for paying them less than men. The company had two ways of calculating salaries, one for men and one for women. The women were being paid less than men even when they had the same job title and experience level as male employees.

In 1983, “Dukes v Wal-Mart Stores” was filed by Betty Dukes and other female employees who claimed that Wal-Mart discriminated against female employees in pay and promotions.

The plaintiffs in this case argued that Wal-Mart’s policies created an environment where female workers were systematically underpaid relative to their male counterparts, resulting in higher turnover rates among women and lower rates of pay increases over time.

The Process of a Class Action Employment Lawsuit

When a class action lawsuit is filed amongst employees then as one of the employees you will receive a notice. Experts say to follow the instructions of the notice and then provide the documentation to your California class action employment lawyer.

Your labor law attorney and their team of legal experts will begin the process of collecting discovery. Discovery is not only the act of collecting facts of the case but also the exchange of those facts between both legal teams for the plaintiff and defendant.

After discovery, the case must have a class certification. This means that a great number of consistencies have been proven amongst all the plaintiffs in relation to the defendant’s wrongdoings. A motion is then made to bring the issue to the courts.

Igor & Rita
He fought for our rights when no one wanted to help us

My husband and I worked full time for many years as contractors for a medical center. In recent times, the owner of the business started playing games with us by paying late and then eventually not paying at all to force us out of the job due to our age (we are 63 and 65). We were heart broken, and distressed, left with no options but to quit. We tried finding an attorney that could at least help us get the money that they owed us, not even considering any other monetary recovery. Every attorney we saw was not interested to take our case without paying them upfront… that’s until we found Mr. Richard Kim. Not only did he take our case with no upfront cost, he said that he will fight for our every right… many that have been violated over the years. After our thorough consultation, he identified the following:

  • We were never supposed to be contractors, but full time employees.
  • We were underpaid for overtime for 8 years!
  • We were forcefully let go due to our age.
  • We are entitled to workers compensation because of the stress caused from our job
  • And much more technical stuff that I have hard time recalling now

He took the case, gave us updates on EVERY step of the process, fought vigorously to prove all of the above points, and only after 12 months secured a huge settlement for us that will help us with our untimely retirement.

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank him for fighting for us… we feel that true justice has been served. If you are considering hiring Richard as your employment attorney, we can vouch that you will be getting the BEST possible representative for your situation.

A fantastic attorney

Fortunately, I sought the legal advice of Richard Kim. He clearly explained my options going forward regarding my case.

I highly recommend this attorney for all your needs. As evidenced by my experience with him, he is very knowledgeable regarding the issues and will work his hardest to get you the best possible outcome.

Fantastic Attorney very helpful

Richard and his staff were there to help me through the entire process from beginning to end. Any time I wanted to talk to Richard he would take my call or return my calls within 24 hours. I had another lawyer for an accident I had 5 years ago and I never got to speak with the attorney after the initial consultation and only spoke with assistants who were not helpful and who would not keep me updated on my case. Richard and his staff would give me consistent updates and moved my case along quickly.
