Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is actively investigating widespread wage and hour violations affecting hourly-paid and non-exempt employees in California and other states, including New York, Massachusetts, Washington, and the District of Columbia. These violations involve unpaid wages, missed meal and rest breaks, inaccurate wage statements, and unreimbursed business expenses, raising serious concerns about employer compliance with state and federal labor laws.

Common Wage and Hour Violations and Employee Rights

Employers across California and other states have reportedly implemented unlawful policies violating state labor codes and wage orders. These violations include:

Failure to pay for all hours worked, including overtime and straight time
Requiring off-the-clock work before shifts, after shifts, or during meal breaks
Denying legally mandated meal and rest breaks or failing to pay premiums for missed breaks
Providing inaccurate or incomplete wage statements
Failing to reimburse necessary work-related expenses, such as cell phone use, uniforms, or tools
Late or incomplete payment of final wages upon separation

California’s Labor Code and Unfair Competition Law provide some of the strongest employee wage protections in the country. Workers affected by these violations may be entitled to recover unpaid wages, penalties, and other damages. Similar labor protections are enforced in New York, Massachusetts, Washington State, and D.C., ensuring employee rights across multiple jurisdictions.
