ATTENTION ALL EMPLOYEES!
Your employer may be cheating you.

Are you required to work long hours without being paid for your overtime?

The law says that non-exempt employees who work overtime get paid for it. But many companies try to get around this. They call you a “manager,” or “outside salesperson” so they can work you overtime for no extra pay. Jacoby & Meyers believes that’s unfair… and it’s illegal. Just calling you a manager doesn’t make you one. You have to be one as defined by the law.

If you’re not getting paid for your overtime, call Jacoby & Meyers. You may have a claim for a lot of back pay. And this applies to overtime you work daily and weekly. And, sometimes, even salaried employees are entitled to overtime.

What about breaks? Do you often work through lunch and not take morning or afternoon breaks? Do you have to purchase clothes or other products from your company?

That also is against the law in California and you should call Jacoby & Meyers now. Your consultation with the attorney is free and completely confidential. And your employer is not allowed to retaliate.

Employer Tactics

Some of the tactics that employers use to bully their employees out of earned pay are unjust, and some are even against the law. Here are just a few of the strategies employers use to cheat you out of your money:

  • Refusing to pay you for hours worked that were "unapproved"
  • Forcing you to work off the clock or intimidating you to do so
  • Pushing your overtime hours into the next pay period
  • Falsifying your time sheets
  • Refusing to pay for breaks (deducting time for breaks and lunches even if you worked during that time)
  • Putting you down as "exempt" from overtime when you are not

If you feel you cannot afford an employee rights lawyer to take your case, there is no need to worry. Your consultation is free and our fees are a percentage of the settlement.

Sometimes employees realize they are being cheated out of wages and just don’t know what to do about it. Maybe you feel intimidated about asking your boss if the hours worked and wages earned on your pay stub are accurate. The fear of getting on your boss’ “bad side” or of even losing your job because you question the accuracy of your paycheck can be so overwhelming that you just accept whatever hours and wages you’re paid.

Just remember, the consultation is free and your employer is not allowed to retaliate for your seeking legal advice.
