In the hiring and subsequent managing of their employees, California employers must avoid numerous pitfalls. Failure to properly comply with California overtime laws and compensation requirements can result in the imposition of substantial penalties and a possible lawsuit. At Walters & Caietti, California attorneys advise employers in ways to comply with California labor law, and our lawyers advise employees as to their rights under that law.

Defining Exempt Employees, Nonexempt Employees, and Contractors

It used to be easy to classify employees and to structure and manage personnel policies. But as companies try to compete in dynamic markets, new ways of labor utilization have developed. Job sharing, flex time, and new forms of compensation can benefit both employer and employee, but they can present traps for employers who are not careful. The California attorneys at Walters & Caietti have extensive experience in California labor law as it defines exempt and nonexempt employees and contractors. We stay on top of the changes taking place in California employment law and use this knowledge to advise and offer consultation which can enable our clients to comply with the law while maintaining productive workplaces.

Paid Breaks, Unpaid Breaks, and No Breaks

Our California overtime law attorneys have a comprehensive knowledge of hourly pay, salary and compensation, and pay dispute matters, as well as California overtime laws. In addition to consultation to avoid employment law risk, our attorneys provide assertive representation in court and before the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement/Labor Board and the California Unemployment Appeals Board. On behalf of the employees and former employees of a national corporation, we recently recovered $18 million in a compensation dispute.

The starting point for a pay dispute begins when the employee or contractor first interviews for the position. With the help and advice of Walters & Caietti, you can minimize or avoid the problems such a conflict can present.
