Untold financial losses from employer wage fraud mean someone else besides the employee is capitalizing on man-hours. More often than not, executives or greedy business owners pocket wages, blaming an employee’s paycheck deficiency on ‘clerical errors’ or system glitches.
Afraid of retaliation, many employees hire The Rager Law Firm, an expert Pasadena wage fraud attorney known for recovering lost wages and holding employers liable for willful negligence.
Unethical payroll practices, such as slipping deductions into paychecks or illegally increasing tax rates, contribute to many cases where employees are left short on pay periods. Since many employers have outsourced payroll companies, it’s hard to determine fault; we thoroughly investigate every claim as your Pasadena wage fraud attorney.
Are you afraid of retaliation because of:
We see these and other incidents often. Employers try to pinch pennies wherever possible, meaning employees may experience withholding of wages or benefits so corporations or small businesses can avoid higher payroll taxes.
Some courts maintain that ‘reasonable estimations’ are acceptable proof of time lost. While your employer may run their own payroll software and conveniently ‘forget’ to clock an employee in or out, other aggravating factors come into play; for example, cameras across the street may capture you going into work but not come out for the exact hours of your shift. Or, someone you know brought you lunch every day.
If you’re an employee working on federal contracts in California, both the Davis-Bacon Act and California’s Prevailing Wage Law comes into play. Your employer will be held accountable under both laws should they fail to pay correct wages on contracts over $2,000 and $1,000, respectively.
