Los Angeles Employment Law Class Action Lawsuits

Sometimes, in the course of investigating an employee's wage and hour complaint or age discrimination claim, we find that many workers at the same company have similar stories. Whenever it appears that the violation of your workplace rights actually reflects a widespread or standard practice on the part of your employer, the Law Office of Rheuban & Gresen will consider filing your claim as a class action lawsuit.

Employee class action lawsuits are beneficial in many ways. They allow people who cannot afford a lawsuit to have a voice. They also give class members the power they need to speak up, creating strength in numbers against powerful employers. Finally, they expose the extent of an injury to a judge or jury, showing that an employer's unlawful actions are widespread and need to be stopped.

If you think that you are part of a larger problem, contact our Los Angeles employment law class action lawyers. With more than 40 years of combined experience dedicated to employee rights, we are prepared to help you.

Workplace Class Action Lawsuits in Los Angeles

Some workplace claims are more suitable for class action treatment than others. For example, a sexual harassment case is probably going to reflect individual issues which would prevent class certification. However, where common issues of harassment exist affecting all members of a particular gender or sex and reflecting a severe and pervasive gender bias — such as offensive posters, e-mail blasts, water cooler discussions, and similar situations — a class action suit for hostile work environment might well be the proper approach.

Our Los Angeles workplace class action lawyers handle employment discrimination class actions as well as employee wage and hour class actions involving:

• Employee misclassification disputes, including misclassifying independent contractors as employees or nonexempt employees as exempt employees
• Overtime pay disputes, meal and rest break issues or minimum wage lawsuits
• Improper deductions, tip splitting commissions and piece rate issues
