Labor
What is Labor law?
Labor law refers to the
various laws which govern the workplace, including
laws concerning minimum wage, overtime, commissions,
non-payment of wages, etc. Generally, such laws are
enforced by the Labor Commissioner, Division of
Labor Standards Enforcement. However, you can also
assert these rights in a civil action, and in most
cases are entitled to reimbursement of your
attorneys fees if you are the prevailing party.
Labor law also refers to the
law governing labor unions and association. Jarvis
Law Offices is also involved in representing unions
and labor associations, and workers against their
employers and against their unions.
How can Jarvis Law
Offices help?
Whatever your labor issue
is, so long as it is on the side of the worker,
Jarvis Law Offices can help you. We do not
represent big companies, and never represent
insurance companies. Our representation is strictly
limited to individuals.
If your employer has failed
to pay you overtime, or has labeled you as an exempt
employee when in fact you are really not exempt, has
failed to provide you benefits that you are owed, or
you are a women paid less than the men in your
workplace for the identical work, you may have a
case against your employer for violation of Labor
Laws. In addition to your unpaid wages, you may
also be entitled to repayment of your attorneys
fees, as well as penalties imposed for every week
your wages are not paid.
In addition if you are a
labor union or association in need of
representation, Jarvis Law Offices may be able to
represent you at a modest monthly rate. Please
contact us for a free initial consultation.
