Wage and hour employment law

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and several California state laws govern the rights of employees to fair wages and working conditions. Employers who don’t comply with these laws and disregard these rights can be held legally accountable by employees. The FLSA states that the minimum wage for nonexempt workers is $7.25. It’s not legal to reduce these wages or the established amount of overtime pay. Some exceptions will apply to specific jobs or positions, which your Los Angeles wage and hour dispute attorney can explain in more detail.
