How Employers Commit Wage Fraud (Wage Theft) in Los Angeles
Employers use a range of tactics, some subtle, some blatant, to underpay workers. If any of the red flags below sound familiar, talk to a Los Angeles wage fraud attorney right away.
Common wage-and-hour violations:
- Unpaid overtime or double time: Not paying time-and-a-half after 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week; failing to pay double time after long daily shifts or seventh-day work.
- Off-the-clock work / time shaving: Requiring pre-shift setup, post-shift closing, or automatic meal deductions that weren’t taken.
- Minimum wage violations: Paying below the California minimum wage or applicable Los Angeles local minimum wage, or averaging tips to meet minimums.
- Illegal deductions & tip theft: Deducting for uniforms, breakages, or shortages; skimming tips/service charges that should go to employees.
- Commission/bonus underpayment: Not following written commission plans, chargebacks not allowed by law, or withholding earned bonuses.
- Misclassification: Calling employees “exempt” to avoid overtime or mislabeling W-2 employees as 1099 independent contractors.
- Meal and rest break violations: Denying, shorting, or interrupting required breaks without paying the premium penalty.
- Rounding/payclock manipulation: Rounding rules or edits that consistently favor the employer.
- Paystub (wage statement) errors: Missing hours, rates, overtime lines, or employer information—often paired with underpayment.
- Failure to reimburse expenses: Not reimbursing required business costs (mileage, cell phone, tools/equipment).
