WHO WE HELP
Josephson Dunlap: Lawyers for the Workers
We are different from other employment lawyers because we work as trial attorneys to resolve your problems. Once we take your case and commit to you, your success is our priority, and we are prepared to litigate the matter to the fullest extent of the law. Contact us, and we can explain more about the process of hiring experienced trial lawyers for your wage claim case.
No matter how you're classfied-hourly, salaried, or independent contractor-you have rights. Employers often use loopholes and misclassification to avoid paying workers fairly. If you've been underpaid, we can help.
- Hourly Workers: Often shortchanged on overtime, meal breaks, and pre/post-shift work. If you work more than 40 hours you must be paid time and a half.
- Salaried Employees: Many employers wrongly label salaried workers as "exempt" to deny them overtime pay. You may still qualify for overtime.
- Day-Rate Workers: Earning a flat daily rate doesn't mean you forfeit overtime pay. The law requires overtime after 40 hours per week.
- Independent Contractors: Some companies misclassify employees as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime and benefits. If you've been labeled incorrectly, you could be owed significant back pay.
If your employer has misclassified you or failed to pay you fairly, contact us. We'll review your situation and help you claim the wages you deserve.
To them, stealing is as simple as asking you to stay late. For you, it’s costly. Your time deserves to be paid.
If you haven't been compensated correctly, you have a legal path to recover your wages. We help employees reclaim the back pay they’ve rightfully earned. If your employer isn’t paying for meetings, training, travel, or overtime, you may be owed back wages.
Some employers deliberately misclassify employees to avoid paying fair wages. They may give you a misleading job title, such as calling a retail worker a “manager” to avoid overtime or converting hourly workers to independent contractors. Even salaried workers may be mislabeled as “exempt” to deny overtime pay. Misclassification costs workers thousands. We can help recover what you’re owed.
By law, overtime pay must be 1.5 times your regular hourly rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Some employers illegally pay "straight time" instead robbing you of the extra wages you deserve. We fight to recover unpaid overtime, often up to twice the amount owed.
Unpaid work, no matter how small, adds up. Employers may ask you to attend meetings, prepare for your shift, or clean up after hours—without pay. If you're working, you should be paid. We help employees recover every dollar of unpaid wages, including overtime.
If you work over 40 hours in a week, your employer must pay time and a half. Some businesses manipulate timesheets or miscalculate overtime to avoid paying extra. Losing even a few hours each week means losing thousands over time. We specialize in reclaiming your unpaid overtime.
Being asked to falsify your timesheet is illegal. Employers who underreport hours shortchange workers on both regular and overtime pay. We fight to recover these lost wages-up to three times the amount owed.
Per diems cover travel, meals, and lodging—not wages. Employers sometimes misuse per diems to avoid paying overtime correctly. Overtime must be calculated on your full earnings, including per diems. If your employer is using per diems as a loophole, we can help recover your pay.
If your job requires you to attend a meeting, training, or travel for work, you should be paid. Even if it’s “just 10 minutes,” that time is legally compensable. Every minute counts. If you’re being asked to work for free, we can help recover your wages.
Many day-rate workers are denied overtime pay. Employers often misclassify day-rate employees to avoid paying overtime at higher rates. If you’re paid by the day, you may be owed up to three years in back wages.
Salaried workers can still qualify for overtime. Many employers mislabel workers as "exempt" to dodge overtime laws. If you’re salaried, we can determine whether you’re misclassified and recover the overtime pay you deserve.
At Josephson Dunlap, we fight for workers—not corporations. We represent hardworking employees who deserve fair pay for their time and effort. If your employer has underpaid you, we’re here to help. Contact us today to claim the wages you’re owed.
