Riverside Wage Fraud Attorney

Southern Californians working tirelessly night and day to bring home earnings for families shouldn’t worry if they’ve made the correct wage, if withholding allowances are being added properly or if overtime hours are correct. Riverside wage fraud allegations aren’t taken lightly by The Rager Law Firm.

Fraudulent wage practices take many forms. The Employment Development Department of California, and other state and Federal agencies, proactively police employer practices, but even that’s not enough. Employers try paying workers under the table to avoid reporting income, reclassify employees as 1099 workers to avoid paying benefits otherwise entitled to hourly workers, even shave hours to keep extra profits.
