Every employee has a fundamental right to be paid fully and fairly for their hard work. California law provides robust protections ensuring that workers receive all wages they have earned, including minimum wage, overtime, and timely payment. Crucially, these laws also shield employees from retaliation if they inquire about, demand, or file a claim for wages they are rightfully owed. Being fired for simply asking for your earned pay could be a form of wrongful termination.
At Brightwood Law Group, PC, we stand up for employees whose employers have unlawfully retaliated against them for asserting their wage rights.
