Los Angeles IT Employee Misclassification Attorneys

Far too many misclassified IT employees are working nights and weekends without receiving overtime compensation. Technology companies sometimes send their employees home with laptops for after-hours work to meet deadlines, or give them workloads that simply cannot be managed in 40 hours per week. In some positions, this overtime is unavoidable and expected - but in other cases, the companies are simply taking advantage of their employees.

If you are taking work home and you aren't receiving overtime pay, come to the Southern California Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen in Los Angeles. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling a wide range of employment law matters. Contact our offices today through email or call us at 818.815.2727 to discuss your legal concerns with one or our employment lawyers.

Protecting IT Employees Subject to Misclassification

The information technology industry comprises a substantial component of the California economy, with a culture and environment unlike any other field. As a result of this unique environment, the State of California has complex, industry-specific laws ands regulations governing employment in the IT sector. This includes unique regulations for wage and hour matters such as payment for overtime work.

Much like any other industry though, misclassification of IT employees is a serious problem, and many employees are not getting the compensation they deserve for overtime work. Some employees are legitimately exempt from receiving overtime pay, based upon factors such as job responsibilities and salary. Unfortunately though, many employees are mistakenly classified as exempt employees when in fact they are non-exempt employees entitled to overtime pay.

We are devoted to protecting employee rights, and we understand your unique rights and obligations as an employee in the information technology industry. We will take the time to truly listen to your concerns and we will help you understand your options. We will help you determine whether you have been subject to misclassification under the IT wage and hour laws, and whether you are entitled to addition compensation for the hours you have worked.

Effectively Handling Class Action Lawsuits

If you work for a large employer and many of your coworkers have also been subject to misclassification by an IT employer we may consider bringing a class action lawsuit based on your claims. A class action lawsuit can ensure that an offending employer may held accountable for employment law violations for all employees. We are able to effectively handle complex class action lawsuits in all types of employment law matters.
